In this video, Ken describes Silverfish, why they're entering your home, and the best practices to keep them out.


If you already have a silverfish problem inside your home, spray the home's perimeter with a residual insecticide. Spraying the inside perimeter with a narrow band helps kill silverfish as they move throughout the structure. Spraying the outside foundation wall will keep a variety of bugs from entering the structure, including silverfish. In addition, you can scatter an insecticide bait such as Intice Perimeter 10 in the attic.

Spray along the foundation wall with a two or three-foot band. Avesta CS and Cyper WSP last for two to three months. Both Avesta CS and Cyper WSP are odorless. The wettable powder (WP) formulation in the and Cyper WSP will leave a slight film that against dark surfaces. Avesta CS does not leave a film.

However, if you have a severe active infestation of silverfish, further action will need to be taken. Look at stored boxes and insulation in your attic as a food source for the silverfish. It is best to dust or bait these areas for greater control. When you use baits or dust, get it as close as possible to the silverfish habitat for maximum effect. Make sure that the bait and dust stay hidden from humans and pets.
