What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and wallpaper. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects might be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

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 homes 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 where 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 can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.
