What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically families, they are generally found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes 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 as well as these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are seen 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 existence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroomkitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
