Kleinburg is part of Vaughan, so these are Vaughan figures. 8% of homes in Vaughan were built before 1981. Older basements, bathrooms and laundry areas are where damp, dark gaps tend to be, and silverfish need damp. 2.5% of homes need major repairs, and leaks are part of that.

Frequently asked questions: Kleinburg
What does Vaughan say about insects?
Every yard must be kept clean and free from rodents, vermin, insect pests and other pests and from any condition that may encourage their infestation or harbouring.
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.
