How we treat Silverfish
To avoid Silverfish, maintain low humidity levels in your home by using dehumidifiers or fans, especially in damp areas like basements or bathrooms. Regularly clean and vacuum your home to remove potential food sources such as dust and debris. Keep dry foods in tightly sealed containers. Repair any leaks and minimize standing water to reduce moisture. Lastly, seal cracks and crevices around doors and windows to prevent their entry.
