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’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

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

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in moist areas where the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly households, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that should they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
