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’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. 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 can trigger allergies in some people and further damage properties. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

Silverfish are common pest species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. So, it is 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 remains damp.

It takes 2 weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, 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 flourish to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

Regardless 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 pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
