They are harmless and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different 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 commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so quickly. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still moist. 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 male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

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