Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container only to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.
Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They are harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.
These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas in which temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically 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, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.
These national creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.
As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as an annoyance and can deem damage to any items.
Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.
They are found hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where 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 usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three decades.
Though they’re accounted for household damages, silverfish holds no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they are food for different insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
