Difficulty: Challenging Silverfish are elongated, silver-colored insects often found in and around the home. They eat almost anything, but are especially fond of starch, paste (including wallpaper paste) and paper. Steps Check around your home for environments that may harbor silverfish. They prefer a warm, moist environment, so they may breed in substances such as mulch. Also check carefully under shake roofs and siding, where molds may provide the perfect silverfish environment. Seal all cracks or holes going from your basement, attic or crawlspace into the house. Silverfish often establish themselves in these environments, then enter the home. Remove the food supply. Seal storage boxes tightly, or store food, clothing, papers and books in plastic containers with lids that will keep silverfish out. Use silverfish bait. Some baits work with boron and are therefore safe to use, even if you have children or pets in the home. Try dusting or spraying. Go to a home and garden store and choose from a variety of products that are made for this purpose. Many experts report that dusting is more effective than spraying, but you still may need several applications. Call a pest control company if you are unable to control a silverfish infestation yourself. Tips & Warnings Because silverfish eat both glue and paper, they can be murder on books. If you have books stored in your house or attic, be sure they are sealed securely so silverfish cannot get in. Use all chemical pest control products with caution, and read the labels carefully. Be especially wary if you have children or pets in the home.
