What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box only to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They’re benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an example, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stay, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception in addition to these pests feed on it because of the glue. By and large, anything that has polysaccharide substance is seen as sustenance for these insects.

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 percent and 95%.

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

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever 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 two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

Though they’re accounted for household damages, silverfish holds no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they’re food for different insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
