What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are 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 look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there had been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are considered pests in houses and businesses.

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 families, they are commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an instance, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these pests feed on it because of the paste. By and large, anything that’s polysaccharide substance is seen as sustenance 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% and 95%.

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or closets, they know that silverfish is the offender.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, dark and cold locations. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new establishments, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases 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 cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
