Frequently asked questions: Nobleton
What does King say about insects?
Under King's Clean Yards By-law every person must ensure their land is free and clear of infestation, which the by-law defines as the overrunning of a property by vermin, rodents and insects.
Why are silverfish so hard to kill?
They hide in damp, dark gaps and live a long time, so killing the ones you see does not remove the population. Inspection finds the moisture and the harbourages.
Does killing silverfish by hand reduce the population?
Not by much. Treatment where the inspection finds them and monitors left in place show whether activity is falling.
