Bomb For Attic Silverfish

1st let me describe the house.

Bomb for attic silverfish.

You can purchase boric acid powder to sprinkle in areas where silverfish are active. Silverfish eat the cellulose in paper products and the glue found in the bindings of books. It s a 2 flat with a basement and attic. You can also find boric acid in ready to use products such as baits wafers and traps.

In fact it has historically been used as a cleaning product. If you have stored photos silverfish can chew their way in and ruin those photos. If the first floor is 70of 2nd floor might be in the upper 70os. I can also traipse the beams and get to a specific spot and puff puff all treated.

To capture silverfish sprinkle plaster on a wet white cotton cloth put it in a corner overnight near the silverfish s hideout. While pyrethrins are somewhat effective against exposed flying insects such as house flies they are seldom lethal to roaches ants bed bugs spiders silverfish and other crawling pests. The ingredients within bug bombs also tend to be repellent causing insects to scatter and move deeper into walls crevices and other hard to reach areas. A 1 1 ratio dispersion of borax and sugar is a reliable bait to kill silverfish.

If you have these insects in your attic there are a few things you should be aware of. Roach ridd and dekko silverfish paks are examples of products made with boric acid. I don t think our house is overly humid however we are noticing drywall cracks and nail pops house too. Our house is unevenly heated.

Basement might be in the upper 60os. Silverfish infestation in the attic. This is good for such areas as the bathroom vent a classic spot for roaches.
