What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects might 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 damp clothing.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known evidence that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These national creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

As above, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

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

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

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