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 on the earth hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there had been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are considered pests in houses and businesses.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their existence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food 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 inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

They are found hiding in dark and damp 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 damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages and lasts 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 flourish to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

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 like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
