What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there has been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

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 commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

Silverfish are common pest species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

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

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be aware of their existence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, 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 reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults following three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

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! Highly recommend.
