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 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.

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years previously before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are considered pests in houses and businesses.

Their presence 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 strain, and over time spread everywhere. 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 properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults following three months to three years.
