How to keep them at bay
Preventing a silverfish invasion is much easier than dealing with one after they’ve already settled in. Keep your home well-ventilated to maintain optimal humidity levels, as silverfish thrive in warm, humid environments. Pay special attention to areas like the bathroom, where moisture levels are naturally higher, as silverfish often lurk there. By controlling moisture and ventilation, you make your home less attractive to these pests. But if you’re already dealing with silverfish, don’t worry—there are simple tricks to get rid of them effectively!
Catch them
Are those pesky silverfish already in your home? Fear not – there’s a simple and effective solution right at your fingertips! All you need is an empty jar, some duct tape, and a small piece of bread. First, wrap the duct tape around the entire jar, creating a barrier that prevents the silverfish from escaping once they’re inside. Then, place the piece of bread inside the jar to lure the silverfish in. Position the jar in an area where you typically encounter these unwelcome critters.
As the silverfish are drawn to the scent of the bread, they’ll crawl into the jar in search of a snack. However, once inside, they’ll find themselves trapped by the smooth glass surface, unable to climb out. Silverfish struggle to walk on slippery surfaces, so any attempts to escape will only result in them sliding back down into the jar. With this clever trap, you can easily catch silverfish and reclaim your home from these nuisance pests. It’s a simple yet highly effective method that’s sure to bring relief to anyone dealing with a silverfish infestation.
