Silverfish and Fire brats
Silverfish and firebrats are small, wingless insects that are commonly found in many parts of the world, including Edmonton, Alberta. They are similar in appearance, with silverfish typically being silver or gray in color and firebrats being reddish-brown in color. They are both typically around 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.
Both silverfish and firebrats are often found in damp, humid environments such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. They are known to feed on a variety of organic materials including paper, books, glue, and food crumbs. They can also damage wallpaper and clothing. They are most active at night and they are quick and agile runners.
Both silverfish and firebrats can be controlled through a combination of methods, including: -Reducing moisture by fixing leaks, diverting water away from the foundation, and ventilating damp areas such as crawl spaces. -Sealing cracks and gaps in walls and foundations to prevent entry -Regular cleaning and vacuuming to remove sources of food and harborage areas -Inspecting and maintaining structures for signs of infestation.
If an infestation is suspected, it's best to consult a professional pest control company for advice and treatment. Exterminators can identify the species of insects, and will recommend the best method of treatment based on the severity of the infestation.

Chemical treatment and baiting can be effective in controlling silverfish populations.
Fire brat
Firebrats are small, wingless insects that are typically reddish-brown in color, They are similar in appearance to silverfish, but usually slightly smaller, about 1/4 to 3/8 inches long, and are known for their ability to tolerate high temperatures.
Like silverfish, they are common household pests found in many parts of the world, including Edmonton, Alberta. Firebrats feed on a variety of organic materials, including paper, books, glue, and food crumbs. They can also damage wallpaper and clothing. They are often found in damp, humid environments such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens, especially in areas with high temperatures such as boiler rooms and ovens.
Firebrats are nocturnal insects and they are quick and agile runners. They can reproduce quickly and can produce several generations per year. They can survive in temperatures up to 110F.
Firebrats can be controlled through a combination of methods, including: -Reducing moisture by fixing leaks, diverting water away from the foundation, and ventilating damp areas such as crawl spaces. -Sealing cracks and gaps in walls and foundations to prevent entry -Regular cleaning and vacuuming to remove sources of food and harborage areas -Inspecting and maintaining structures for signs of infestation.
If an infestation is suspected, it's best to consult a professional pest control company for advice and treatment. Exterminators can identify the species of insects and will recommend the best method of treatment based on the severity of the infestation. Chemical treatment, baiting and exclusion methods such as sealing entry points, are some of the ways to deal with firebrat infestations.
