Silverfish in Sydney
Silver fish are small, soft insects without wings, they have a flat body
which is covered in overlapping scales. They are about half inch long. Silver
fish prefer damp, moderate temperature places such as basements, laundry rooms
and under sinks. Occasionally you can find them in bath tubs, seeking food or
moisture. Silver fish prefer vegetable matter, however when inside they will
almost anything, such as, dried beef, flour, starch, paper, gum, glue, cotton,
linen, rayon, silk, sugar, molds, breakfast cereals, wall paper paste, books
and papers.
Reproduction
Silver fish can lay up to 50 eggs at one time, which can hatch between two
weeks up to two months after being laid.
Habitat
Silver fish normally live outdoors under rocks, bark or leaf mounds, in the
nests of birds and mammals, in ant and termite nests.
Sources of any undue moisture such as faulty plumbing or condensation that
provide the humidity favoured by these pests should be eliminated.
