What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects might be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Silverfish have been on the ground thousands and 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 benign and there’d been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.

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 generally found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs 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 carpeting, clothing, java, 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’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases and lasts over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 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, house centipedes, and spiders.
