What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container only to get surprised while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like 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, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

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 can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts 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 female and male carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults following three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
