What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container only to get amased while those 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. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp 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 breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps 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 some people and further damage properties. 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. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

These national creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are seen as a hassle and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

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.
