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 have been on the earth thousands and 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 appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.
Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread anywhere. 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 certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.
Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.
These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.
As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.
Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.
As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the toilet, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers may be discovered in which masonry remains damp.
Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults following three months to three decades.
Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you wash the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise choice if professional pest control services will be taken for silverfish treatment.
Here are some reasons why using a professional silverfish treatment is a fantastic initiative:
