What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further 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, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, 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 is regarded 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.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding 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 regarded as a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts may 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 custom that includes 3 stages and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 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 following after three months to three decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
