What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white monster 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, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes detecting. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

Their existence 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 breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings 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 because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar.

Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

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

They are found 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 materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.
