What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, 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’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the toilet, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be discovered in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and kept in tiny crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.

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