| What the guides say | Guide |
|---|---|
| Silverfish are night insects, most active after dark, and move with a quick wiggle. | Health Canada: silverfish and firebrats |
| A fogger or a can of spray from the hardware store will kill the silverfish you can see, but it does nothing about the humidity that's attracting new ones. Within a few weeks, you're back to square one, because you treated a symptom, not the cause. | Silverfish in the Bathroom: Why They Show Up and How to Actually Get Rid of Them |
| Given enough time and a steady food source, they'll chew through: So panic is understandable when you flip on the bathroom light and see one dart away, but it's more of a nuisance and moisture-indicator than an actual health risk. | Silverfish in the Bathroom: Why They Show Up and How to Actually Get Rid of Them |

Frequently asked questions: Schomberg
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.
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.
