What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically families, they are commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

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

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be conscious of their existence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

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

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you clean the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be completely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if professional pest control services will be taken for silverfish treatment.

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
• They can determine the magnitude of infestation
• A routine treatment will keep the pest infestation to a minimum
• They know what sort of treatment should be used
