What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container simply to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re benign 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 further damage possessions. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever comprises polysaccharides, for instance, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in publication ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these pests feed on it because of the glue. By and large, anything that has polysaccharide substance is seen as sustenance 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 need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

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