This product is the best weapon against silverfish and other insects. It is purchased in pharmacies or at the supermarket, and it is very easy to use.

Just scatter boric acid on the floor, in the corners of the bathroom most frequented by these insects. Wear gloves and masks when using boric acid, and prevent children or pets from approaching it.
Lavanda

An effective natural repellent against these annoying insects, lavender is also very useful to give a delicious scent to the bathroom.

Pour a few drops of essential olia at various corners of the bathroom or the closet. Alternatively, you can also use lemon or orange essential oils.
Trap of the jar

In addition to driving away silverfish directly, another option is to prepare a trap that in a single night can eliminate the problem forever. One of the most popular is the jar trap.

Wrap the outside of a jar with adhesive tape and put oat flakes in its interior. The silverfish will be attracted by the starch of oats, enter the jar thanks to the ribbon and will remain trapped inside, slipping on the glass.
Cinnamon

It is one of the best repellents against silverfish. Cinnamon is cheap and also has a wonderful aroma.

Place a glass of powdered cinnamon in the bathroom, or spread it in the corners most frequented by these unwanted insects.
