What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a little and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known evidence that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, 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 foods for those 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 require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be harmful 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 if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

They are found hiding in dark and moist nooks of the toilet, 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 fact, 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 small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
