What to do if insects have appeared at home: fighting the ubiquitous silverfish

Small, long bugs, shaped like fish, with legs and antennae in front and behind, especially like to settle in the bathroom.

However, they can be found not only here, but also in the toilet, in the kitchen, in old books, things and furniture.

Despite the fact that these creatures are absolutely safe, it is unlikely that anyone would want to share their home with such neighbors.

And they can’t be called harmless – silverfish can spoil food products, leave stains on wallpaper and make small holes in books.

If you notice a couple of individuals, be prepared for the fact that in a week there will already be 50 silverfish living in your apartment.

Stop panicking! You can get rid of sneaky insects with the help of a simple trap.

To do this, you will have to cut the cardboard into several small squares and coat them with honey.

Place cardboard boxes in areas where silverfish congregate and renew the traps from time to time.
