What do silverfish hate the most?
Silverfish hate strong scents such as citrus, lavender, cinnamon, and cloves. They also dislike dry, well-ventilated environments, as they thrive in damp, dark spaces. Regular cleaning and the use of natural repellents can help keep them away.
How do I get rid of silverfish permanently?
To get rid of silverfish permanently, start by reducing humidity in your home using dehumidifiers and improving ventilation, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. Seal cracks, crevices, and gaps where they might enter or hide, and eliminate food sources like paper, glue, and crumbs. Use silverfish traps, diatomaceous earth, or professional pest control for severe infestations.
