What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off a feeling of being whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known evidence that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage properties. Their existence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the offender.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still damp.

It takes 2 weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
