Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a little and white monster nestled in between the pages? That’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.
They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes detecting. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.
Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.
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, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is known as food for these 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.
These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in darkened and dark areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.
These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that if they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the offender .
As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the toilet, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers may 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 might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, 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.
Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you wash 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 therapy.
