What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Silverfish has been on the planet 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 are benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

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

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroomkitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry remains damp.

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 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults following three months to three years.
