What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream 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 homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered 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 located in basements and attics.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be aware of their presence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which 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 two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

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.
