What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are referring to silverfish.

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

As aforementioned, they may not inflict any injury, but they are considered a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so fast. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As previously mentioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new establishments, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house doesn’t necessarily guarantee to lessen the number of silverfish. Therefore, most homeowners seek advice to professional pest control services to implement a customised treatment focused on silverfish eradication.
