What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes noticing. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to 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 carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, 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 common pest 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%.

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

Spotting an Infestation

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

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, dark and cold areas. 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 generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 stages and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.

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

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house and surrounding areas don’t completely eradicate silverfish. These pests are quite difficult to get rid of that it requires assistance from pest control professionals. This is because no generic insecticides or pesticides can poison the silverfish brooding.
