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 papers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

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

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage properties. Their existence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so quickly. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As previously mentioned, silverfish enjoys moist, cold and dark areas. Thus, it is more economical 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 moist?

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults 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, house centipedes, and spiders.
