Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container simply to get amased while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.
Nerang homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, 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.
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 breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. 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 because of their strange appearance.
Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as 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 due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.
Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.
As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as an annoyance around Nerang and can deem damage to any items.
These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be conscious of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.
As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large numbers 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 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 stages and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.
Though they are responsible for Nerang household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you wash the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish therapy.
