One of these is diatomaceous earth. This is a rough yet powdery substance that kills silverfish by puncturing their exoskeletons, but is so fine that it poses no threat whatsoever to humans or pets. You can sprinkle it in your kitchen cabinets or along the baseboards, and the vacuum it up the next day along with the dead silverfish.
Another chemical substance you can use to remove silverfish is boric acid. However, this is toxic to the lungs, so be sure to avoid inhaling it while you apply it along the baseboards, under the bathtub, etc. Also, make sure the boric acid is kept out of the reach of small children and pets.
A chemical spray containing liquid pyrethrin will do the trick as well. Spray it wherever the silverfish in your house are sighted, as long as you do not use it in the kitchen area. This is a toxic substance that should not be ingested, even in small amounts, so remember to keep it away from any small children or pets as well.
Once you banish the silverfish from your home, it should be easy to keep them out permanently, as long as you keep things clean and tidy. Get in touch to learn more about out swift and effective
