What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to scream when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes noticing. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage properties. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those 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 require 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 massive damage, however, they are viewed as an annoyance and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be conscious of their existence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes 2 weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages 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’re food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
