What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes detecting. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. 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 due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

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 found in basements and attics.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large amounts may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

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 half an hour. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of family damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
