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 those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.

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, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that 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 require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive 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 existence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large amounts could 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.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

Though they are accounted for family damages, silverfish retains no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they’re food for different insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
