What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you start a book you found a tiny and white monster nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the house, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas in which temperature is beneficial, exceptionally 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 consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.
