Silverfish (Lepismatidae sp.) are small, soft bodied, wingless insects. They range in size from 12mm to about 18mm long, usually with a scaled, silvery colour over the upper surface. Their bodies are flattened, long and slender, and are broader at the front, gradually tapering toward the rear. They have long thread like antennae, plus three telltale filaments (cerci) extending off the rear of the abdomen.
They may live up to 4 years and will also moult up to four times.
Silverfish are often found in older homes in the Ballarat region with many reports from our customers of them infesting their homes shortly after bringing stored goods into the home from storage facilities etc We also hear stories of them being discovered in the linen cupboard and other seldom accessed areas within the home after much damage has been done.
