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 are 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 openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found 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 meals for those pests.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

As aforementioned, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and may be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or closets, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers 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 may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
