What are Silverfish?

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

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes detecting. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they are also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may 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 absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not inflict any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 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 to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
