What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are referring to 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 harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, 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.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults following three months to three decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
