What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow 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 different parts 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 generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed 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 possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry is still damp.

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 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, home centipedes, and spiders.
