What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a little and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts 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 whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

As aforementioned, they may not inflict any injury, but they are regarded as a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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 should they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the offender .

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever 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 generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
