There are several ways to get rid of silver fish, other than looking for cracks or cracks in walls or windows that you need to seal to prevent insects from entering in the future.
You have to dispose of all organic matter such as paper, tissue and cereals that could attract silver fish.
In addition to using insecticide sprays specifically designed to control silverfish, there are natural remedies such as talc, peppermint and eucalyptus oil that have proved effective in repelling silver fish.
