What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container only to get surprised while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

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

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 generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these 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 need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

As above, they may not inflict any injury, but they are considered a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that if they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

They are found hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still moist. 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 2 months to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages and lasts over half an hour. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
