Experts warn British homes may face increased silverfish activity as colder, damper weather arrives, urging residents to sanitize sinks with bleach and scalding water to deter infestations. Silverfish feed on starches in books and wallpaper, can trigger allergies, and thrive in humid areas. Measures include improving ventilation, using dehumidifiers, hanging mats to dry, applying lavender, cleaning hiding spots, or hiring pest professionals.
