What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you start a book you found a little and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

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 houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are usually observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as 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, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

They are found hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where 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. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

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