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.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

Silverfish are common insect 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 large damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the offender.

As previously mentioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. Thus, it is more economical to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?

It takes 2 weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. 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 years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
