Hi there! (:

I'm really sorry to hear you're having issues with your flat 🙁-I would recommend you contact your landlord, they should be available to help with any issues with the building!

They might have an emergency number which you could contact to get them to sort asap

hope this helps, best of luck!

Hi @myaklx

As mentioned above I would definitely recommend contacting your landlord about the issue,

I had a similar issue in the house I am living with currently at uni. Although not the same, we had an issue with the bins not being emptied outside by the council. This led to a big pile up of rubbish that got out of hand quickly. However, we just simply contacted the landlord about the issue and they sent a rubbish removal company round 2 days later to solve the issue. Hopefully if you are able to contact your landlord and explain the issues with the silverfish then they will be able to contact the right people so they can come and help!

Good luck and I hope you manage to sort it out ASAP!
