What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are referring to silverfish.

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and additional damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

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

These national creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any possessions.

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 presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male 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. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

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