What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish has been on earth 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’re benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings 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 certain people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of 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. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These national creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be aware of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark locations. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and basements. Typically, when there are new establishments, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?

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 small 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.

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