What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are 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.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage properties. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

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 due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these insects.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As above, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers might be discovered in which masonry remains damp.

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 may last over 30 minutes. 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.

In spite 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 insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow lessen their brooding when you clean the household, it can’t guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish treatment.
