What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often 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 gaps 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 absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, 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 due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where 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. In fact, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
