What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the ground hundreds of thousands of years previously before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are 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 inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may 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 people will be aware of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.

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 like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
