What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you start a book you found a little and white monster nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the house, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow 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 creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically households, they are generally found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

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

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still moist. 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 female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.

Great company, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome results. Called Andrew and let him know what we were seeing. Andrew was wonderful, helped me determine what type of creepy crawlers we had in our home and was able to get someone out really quick. Adam came out to treat our apartment for cockroaches and from start to finish I was super impressed. Adam was friendly, answered all my questions, and gave me some insight and tips to help with our problem. Local Pest Control is a reliable and effective company who I won’t hesitate to call again!
