What are Silverfish?

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

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes noticing. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other sections 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 generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

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, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in darkened and dark 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 impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that should they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the offender .

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

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
