What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open 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 creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re benign 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 insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas in which 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 consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

These house bugs are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. 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 a hassle and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that should they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the offender .

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still moist. 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 which involves 3 stages that last over 30 minutes. The feminine 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.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
