What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these 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 located in basements and attics.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as a hassle and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the toilet, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

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 such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
