What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you start a book you found a tiny and white creature nestled in between the pages? That’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals 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.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with ancient 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 look and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there’s been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas in which temperature is beneficial, incredibly 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. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages and lasts 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 weeks to 3 decades.
