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 house, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses 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 sections of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically households, they are commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. 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 adores moist, dark and cold locations. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and basements. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as moist?

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases and lasts over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying 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 are food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow lessen their brooding when you wash the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be completely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish therapy.

Here are some reasons why using a professional silverfish treatment is a good initiative:

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
• They can determine the magnitude of infestation
• A regular treatment will keep the pest infestation to a minimum
• They know what type of treatment should be used

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatment you employ?

Your pet’s safety is very important to us. You may rest assured that any active component they come in contact with, whether it’s still wet or by inhaling or ingesting the substance, is very small.

Can the spray cause any human health issues?

The spray we employ is typically employed in public areas like schools and hospitals and causes no ill effects to human beings.

What do I do if I happen to touch one of the areas treated with a spray?

This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still damp. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as fast as you are able to. After a relatively short period of time, the water carrier tap water has evaporated and won’t cause any harm to you when you come in contact with the surface.
