What are Silverfish?

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 appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are 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.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those 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.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and stored in tiny crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults after 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 are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
