Want to prevent silverfish from invading your house? Do so with these tips prevent silverfish house

And you definitely have to do this if you already have them at home

Silverfish are uninvited guests in many households. These slippery creatures move at lightning speed, and they are very difficult to get rid of once they invade.
Preventing the silverfish from moving into your home is easier than treating once they’ve entered.
Allergy

Silverfish can cause an allergic reaction with symptoms that are similar to asthma. Think of stuffiness, watery eyes and a runny nose. They are also carriers of bacteria. All sorts of bacteria are attached to the legs of silverfish and paperfish, and you obviously don’t want that in your house.
Silverfish

Silverfish love a moist environment and penetrate your house through cracks and holes. They often hide in the walls of your house, between them and the insulation. It is nice, warm and humid there. Because silverfish thrive best in a humid climate, do everything you can to avoid moisture in the house. Read on the following page how you can best prevent them.

Meeting place

You may often find silverfish on the floor of your bathroom because it is nice and humid there. You may also find them in the bathtub. The critters can’t walk well on slippery surfaces, so when they try to climb into or out of the bathtub they often slide down.

Prevention is better than a cure, so it is best to ensure that you do not create a pleasant environment for these dirty insects. They like to live under our laminate and parquet floors and only come out at night.

Do this to prevent silverfish: 

Make sure you avoid moisture as much as possible by ventilating damp rooms and letting clothes dry well before putting them away. If you have a very damp house, use a moisture regulator.

Make sure you keep the temperature around 22 degrees. Silverfish are fond of warm places.
 
Discard old paper, and do not leave it exposed for too long. If you do not want to throw it away, store it in sealed containers.
 
Store potatoes and fruit well, too. These two things are extremely attractive to these fish.

Potato

Has the damage already happened? Then try the following trick: halve a potato and put it in an open plastic bag. Silverfish are fond of starch, so they will flock here in droves. If you have caught a few bugs, close the plastic bag and throw it away.

How to remove wax from apples

We have grown up hearing the popular adage, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’. But when we often come across worrying news of the artificially added layer of wax (not the natural one) in apples (that can reportedly impact our colon, respiratory health and even cause certain infections), it naturally leaves us baffled. Those who are caught in this health dilemma, here is some news for you. A minister was making a Russian salad when he asked his cook to wash the apples. They realised that the shiny apples that were bought from a posh market were actually covered in layers of wax. 

Now talking about the process of how apples are prepped, normally the farmers or sellers put a layer of edible synthetic wax on apples to add back the protective layer that is lost while they are washed thoroughly to remove dirt and litter. The wax also helps to shine and enhance their look. Furthermore, it also helps to seal the moisture, thereby extending its life. 

You’d be surprised to know that waxed apples look so fresh that even a year old apple looks the same as a fresh one. You should also know that there are some food grade waxes that are approved by FSSAI and are safe to consume. However, there is a possibility that your apples may have wax beyond the permissible limit. But if you feel that the apple peels are too slippery and waxy, it is always best to remove it before consuming it.
A lot of us think that simply removing the apple peel also removes the wax present in it, but it may not entirely be true. So if you fear the shiny apples that you have bought have wax in them, there are some ways you can remove it.
Ways to remove wax
OPTION 1: You can leave the apples in extremely hot water for a minute and then rub it with a rough towel to remove the wax.
OPTION 2: You can also add some lemon juice and baking soda in water to remove the wax coat.
OPTION 3: You can also use vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in water
