I have tried diatomaceous earth sprinkled everywhere and little paper packets made especially for silverfish control. I’ve tried borax powder also. I’m st my wits end. Help!

Hi Rainy,
Have you tried any essential oils yet. I just read online that they do not like cinnamon or tea tree. It also says they like dark places, maybe you could add an adhesive battery light. May be worth trying for $7.50.

Do you know what draws them?
Put catnip in corners. Also put it in boxes you may have pictures, books or papers stored in. You won’t be bothered with them anymore. Just refresh every so often.
HI Rainy. We used to have to put out a bomb for them in our attic. They worked but I would leave the house while doing it.
100%pure essential oil ;Cedar oil or Lavender oil straight not mixed with water, wipe down closets walls baseboards floors then add cedar chips to floors around baseboards, in clothing,drawers, cat beds,shoes,towels,books, linens etc.. these will not hurt your cats I have lots of animals and use these on back porch where my ferals lay to help with mosquitos,scorpions,cockroaches just don't let them in wet oil cause it's really strong probably won't be good to sniff
I have tried the cedar chips but not the oils. If the wet paper rolls do not work, I will try some of these suggestions, but I will use an exterminator as a last resort. Thank you everyone. This site has been a great experience!
