They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

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, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these insects.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as an annoyance and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As previously mentioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. Thus, it is more economical to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as moist?

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

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