Getting rid of silverfish

Silverfish are attracted to damp areas in your home and feed on paper - ie ; wallpaper, books, etc. If you sprinkle whole cloves around the areas where you've seen them...they shouldn't stick around too much longer.

I've tried this and haven't seen them since !!

whole cloves Comments By: Cindy I am on my way to buy whole cloves. I have two young grandsons and will try anything non toxic to get rid of these ugly lil bugs.   Silver fish Comments By: Ash I do hope this works !!!   Does it work? Comments By: Anon. I have this pesky problem. Mine are huge and very well fed! I find one or another at least once a month. Has this worked for anyone else?   Cinnamon and cloves Comments By: Satpal Wrap up some cloves and cinnamon in thin pieces cloth and place in cupboards and storage areas in place of moth balls and it deters silver fish.
