What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you start a book you found a little and white monster nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals 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.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there has been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. 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 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 carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is known as food for these pests.

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

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests 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 clothes and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when 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.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases and lasts over half an hour. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
