What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there’s been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts 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 commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is 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% and 95%.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or closets, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They’re 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 usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

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, house centipedes, and spiders.
