What are Silverfish?

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

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, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may 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 consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, 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 glue. 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 located in basements and attics.

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

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large amounts may 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 2 months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three decades.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
