Have you pulled a reserve 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 have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like look and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known evidence that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.
Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. 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 due to their strange appearance.
Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as 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 due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is 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.
They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.
Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the offender.
As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.
Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults following three months to three years.
On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
