What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to 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’d been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, 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 certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

These house bugs are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they understand that silverfish is the offender.

As aforementioned, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers may be discovered 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 which involves three phases and may last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate 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’re food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you wash the household, it can’t guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish therapy.

Here are some reasons why using a professional silverfish treatment is a fantastic initiative:

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime

• A routine treatment will keep the pest infestation to a minimum
