Silverfish: why should you worry if you see this insect in your house?
In recent years there has been an increase in infestation by silverfish , an agile insect whose name derives from the metallic gray sheen on its body. Having a detailed knowledge of the species, as well as its cycle and lifestyle can lead us to a greater success of the treatment.
Scientifically known as Lepisma saccharina, it measures between 10 and 15 mm in length and its activity is mainly nocturnal . It inhabits spaces with high humidity, such as bathrooms and toilets, and is more annoying than harmful, although it can occasionally cause damage to food, and can lead to more problems such as mites or the appearance of new insects . Therefore, you must look for the quick solution to end them.
It is found almost exclusively in buildings and requires a minimum temperature of 20º to develop, and can live up to seven and eight years. Silverfish can run fast and are good climbers. They can travel long distances in search of food and when they find it they stay close. They spend most of their time hiding inside or among their food sources.
Silverfish need very small amounts of food . Especially carbohydrates and proteins such as glue, wallpaper, paint, clothes, books, spilled food or dead insects. As preventive measures, it is important to check for food remains , keep them in airtight containers, as well as reduce humidity and repair any leaks in pipes that lead to higher humidity. For a correct inspection, it must be verified if there are marks on the food, presence of stains, scales or feces, paying special attention to bedrooms, bathrooms, attics, ceilings, garages or insulation.
