They are soft-bodied wingless insects that are from 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch long when full grown with three tail-like append- ages at the posterior end and two long antennae. Their silver-to-gray color comes from scales that cover their bodies, which resemble a carrot. Silver- fish are nocturnal and like dark places. They are quick on their feet. Females lay eggs continuously after reaching the adult stage and may lay over 100 eggs during a lifetime. Eggs hatch in about three weeks. They are about 1/20 of an inch long when they hatch and it takes four to six weeks for them to develop into adults. It is possible for silverfish to survive for over a year without food, but they do need high humidity, around 75 percent to 95 percent, to survive for long periods. They like temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees. Silverfish may be brought in the home on lumber, wall- board or similar products. They have about a three-month to two-year life span in our climate. Crimes: They are found from the base- ment to the attic. They have even been known to be found in the makeup drawer. They eat things like wallpaper, book bindings, pastes, paper sizing, starched clothing, lace curtains and even thin fabrics like rayon. They will eat the paste from wallpaper and cause the paper to come loose. Redeeming qualities: None known. Sentence: If you have had problems in the past, be sure not to put things like cardboard boxes directly on the ground. They like it moist so reduce the humidity in the area. They are usually not a big problem around here but can flare up occasionally. There are insecti- cides available, but drying out the area should do the trick to eliminate them. For more information on dangerous and benefi- cial bugs, call agent Wayne Jones at the Bonne- ville County Extension Office at 529-1390. University of Idaho Montana State University The Bug Box This bug is creeping around your property. He may be friend or foe. The Enemy: Mouseear chickweed (Caryophyllaceae vulgatum L.) Strategy: This is a perennial plant that invades many lawns, gardens and orna- mental plantings. It has many short leaves with hairy or pubescent margins. It typically has small white-to-yellow flowers that spreads by seeds but also by forming roots off the stems nodes when they come in contact with soil. Attack: This plant becomes a real problem in landscape, ornamental and turf situations due to the ability of the stems to form roots. Chickweed can spread by being pulled and then dropped back onto the ground and re-rooting. Once inhabited into turf grass, it can be difficult to control as it can be spread by the lawnmower. This can especially become a problem if one is composting the mulch. Defense: When pulling this weed by hand, make sure that all parts are placed into a garbage bag and disposed of into a recycled garbage are such as a landfill, where it will be buried deep into the ground. As with many peren- nial plants, disking or roto-tilling the plant creates a greater problem. In a garden and landscape situation, mixing Roundup with 2,4-D can be effective when used selectively such as wiping it on each plant as to not get the products on desir- able plants. In ornamental situations, pre-emergent residual herbicides such as Pendulum and Snapshot TG (Gallery plus Treflan) are effective. These prod- ucts must be applied in the late fall or early spring to prevent the plants seedling from forming. If you find Chickweed in your lawn, products such as Trimec and others used by profes- sionals work well. For best results, do not spray until three days have lapsed from mowing, or do not mow for three days after application. Consult your local weed professional for proper iden- tification.
