What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box only to scream when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the house, 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.

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 strain, 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 inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, 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 glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food 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 need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven 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 previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark locations. 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 male and female carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 stages and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored 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 are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
