What are Silverfish?

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

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes detecting. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation 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 certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of 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 carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as an annoyance and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become aware that if they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. 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 in which masonry remains damp.

It takes two 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 develop into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

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