Silverfish

[Pinkgrapefruit]

Hello everyone,
We are renting a ground floor flat, and when we moved in last summer I noticed the odd silverfish in the bathroom. After having my baby I was up a lot at night, and saw them more (they're nocturnal). Our landlord was less than helpful, suggested getting powder to get rid of them, but I didn't want to use chemicals due to baby and breastfeeding.
Over the winter they seemed to go away, but now it's mild they are back in force - I find them everywhere, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen worktop! I clean the place all the time but they are always lurking.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of them please? We are the point where we'll have to move, as they are so disgusting, and my dd is about to start crawling :(
Thanks!!

You can get "ant and crawling insect" sprays which dry to leave a film on hard surfaces. You can put it on hard floors, behind cabinets, behind the bath panel and holes round pipes (where the things probably live), under kitchen cabinets, behind the HW cylinder, after a through cleaning to remove any dirt or dust that would soak it up. The insects take it in through their feet. You can spray it in places that aren't easily touched or chewed. It will last quite a few weeks, until you next clean that floor or whatever. It does not evaporate into the air, or blow around like powder.

I believe silverfish like warm places, around boilers, hot pipes and cylinders.

They eat biscuit crumbs and other droppage, and are often found round dry-goods cupboards (put your cornflakes and rice in plastic contrainers with lids) Keep the area around pet's dishes very clean.
