What are Silverfish?

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

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 houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

Silverfish are common insect 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. If not, they’re probably undiscovered 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 proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the offender.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large amounts could 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 usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

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