What are Silverfish?

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

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.

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 everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation 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 whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

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

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so quickly. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, 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.

It takes 2 weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over half an hour. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
