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’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be destructive 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 make it possible for 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 unpleasant crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts 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 generally found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

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 months to 3 years.
