What are Silverfish?

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

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, 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 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 other 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, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as 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, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these insects.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be conscious of their existence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroomkitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry remains damp.

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 female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

Though they are accounted for family damages, silverfish holds no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they’re food for different insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
