What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a little and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

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

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of 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. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven 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 in their attire or closets, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

It takes 2 weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
