What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container simply to get amased while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

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 openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

Silverfish are common insect 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 national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests 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 clothing and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still moist. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female 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 tiny crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of family damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
