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 are referring to silverfish.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there has been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may 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 absorbs 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, 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 these pests.

These house bugs are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their presence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the toilet, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be discovered in which masonry remains damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying 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.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow lessen their brooding when you clean the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise choice if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish treatment.

Here are a few reasons why having an expert silverfish therapy is the best initiative:

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
• They can determine the magnitude of infestation
• A routine treatment will keep the pest infestation to a minimum
• They know what type of treatment should be used

That being said, they can trigger an allergic reaction in some people. Professionals have their own equipment. Silverfish can be tough to completely control this is especially true in homes that have wooden shingles on the roof. Additionally, a trained professional will be better because they’ll have the ability to help you identify and treat the areas where silverfish is living.
