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, clothing and wallpaper.
Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of being 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 as well as organisations.
Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps 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 some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.
Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, 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 known as food for these pests.
These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in darkened and dark areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.
As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are seen as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.
These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become aware that if they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the culprit.
As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts could be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.
Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 stages and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.
Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
Cleaning the house and surrounding areas don’t completely eradicate silverfish. These pests are quite difficult to get rid of that it requires assistance from pest control professionals. This is because no generic insecticides or pesticides can poison the silverfish brooding.
