What are Silverfish?

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 has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They’re benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their presence 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 breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes through base 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 properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, 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 has polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be conscious of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large numbers 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 fact, the male and female 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 following three months to three years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
