Silverfish Outbreak

Delta’s long, harsh winter has resulted in a 150% increase in silverfish call-out so far this year. This carrot shaped, armoured plated creature is one of the most primitive of living insects in the world. They can live over three years and survive as long as a year without feeding. They require damp and humid conditions, and flourish in kitchens, laundry rooms, attics and crawl spaces. Household item that they like to be around and consume include: books, paper, paintings, fabrics, carpets, coffee, sugar, pasta, hair, beef, oats, dead skin and shampoo. In small numbers, silverfish are really just a nuisance but once they become a full blown infestation they can become a serious issue for a home. To help prevent the occurrence of these pests in your home: get any leaks in pipework fixed, keep dust and debris to a minimum, vacuum often and store food in containers with tightly sealed lids, dehumidify with fans, dehumidifiers, or by opening windows.
