How to get rid of silverfish in an apartment: only effective methods

16.04.2023 18:52

Silvery insects, whose bodies are covered with small scales (hence their name), can be found eating food, books and household items.

You can get rid of silverfish using various chemicals.

However, if for some reason you do not want to use “chemistry”, enlist the support of folk remedies.

One such method involves using citrus zest, the smell of which silverfish do not like.

This product should be spread on surfaces where insects have been noticed.

Important: the zest must remain here for a long time, so it is better to use the shavings not in the apartment, but in the cellar or basement.

But for living spaces where you need to keep things tidy, essential oil with the scent of lavender or lemon will do.

Dilute the ether in water and spray the resulting solution on cabinets, drawers and other surfaces.
