What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the house, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These unpleasant crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas where the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these pests.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their presence because they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts could be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

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, house centipedes, and spiders.
