What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and background. 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.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are generally found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

As above, they may not inflict any injury, but they are considered a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers may be discovered 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 half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be 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 are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
