Frequently asked questions: Aurora
What does Aurora say about insects?
Buildings on any property must be kept free of infestation of rodents, vermin and insects at all times.
Do silverfish damage paper and fabric?
Yes. They feed on starchy materials such as paper, glue and some fabrics, which is why books and stored boxes in damp rooms are affected first.
Why do I have more silverfish every year?
Silverfish follow moisture, so a leak, humid basement or bathroom fan problem lets numbers grow. Fixing moisture goes together with treatment. For Aurora: Buildings on any property must be kept free of infestation of rodents, vermin and insects at all times.
