So, I stumbled across this article about how to get rid of those pesky silverfish in your home. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a couple of run-ins with these creepy little bugs in my bathroom, and I am NOT a fan.
Anyway, the article had some pretty helpful tips for getting rid of silverfish without having to resort to chemical sprays. One of the suggestions was to use diatomaceous earth, which apparently dehydrates the bugs and kills them off. Another tip was to put out little containers of boric acid powder, which acts as a stomach poison for the silverfish.
There were also some preventative measures listed, like keeping your home dry and free of clutter, since silverfish thrive in humid environments and love to munch on glue and paper products.
Personally, I’ve had some success with using cedarwood essential oil around my bathroom to keep the silverfish at bay. But it’s definitely good to know that there are other options out there if my trusty cedarwood spray stops doing the trick.
All in all, I think this article is super helpful for anyone who’s battling silverfish in their home (which, let’s be real, is probably a lot of us). Not only does it provide some easy and natural solutions, but it also gives some insight into why these bugs are attracted to certain environments and how to make your home less inviting to them. Definitely worth a read!
