    One of the best ways I have found…. Moth balls!!! Place them under your mattress, in draws, under the sink so forth.
    And finally crush the moth balls, and place the powder all around the rooms cracks “for example the cracks dividing the wall, and the floor”…. The powder will go into the cracks and poison them.
    Every night rub yourself with lavender oil mixed with your body lotion so they will stay far away from you, and your laundry basket do to the leftover scent…
    Wash your floors and walls with bleach water, everyday for at least a week when you have spotted them… then slowly start washing your walls and floors with bleach one a week.
    Put dried whole cloves, crushed cinnamon sticks, and lavender stems all over your home in little drawstring bags in the couch, under your bed, in your closet you name it.
    Spoil yourself with scented candles, and defusers they hate strong scents…
    Get a night lap in the rooms they are most present as they hate light.
    It’s a process but once they are gone it is so worth it, plus this will keep them from ever coming back repeat this at least every 3 months.

    It seems to be the BEST way and the simplest way is to keep the humidity in the house low, aim at 40%, as then the eggs won’t survive. So don’t dry clothes inside, air out and dry out when showering and keep the house WARM in the winter. Do this and the problem will go away.

    Hey Chris, I just wanted to update you on whats been going on with the silverfish/firebrat stuff. Still have them, have them since November 2020. I had an insect company come in and spray every month, eventually they increased the sprays to 3 times in a month, then they came in drilled holes in the wall and did powder. Then I had my company come in and seal up around the pipes in both my storage units, they sealed up some cracks in my closet and some around the baseboards but not all around the baseboards. The next thing I will do is be sealing up around the baseboards. I didn't know if hte company was bad or not since they have been doing treatment since november 2020, so now we have switched to another company. With the seal ups around the pipes. I am pretty concerned that this thing is just impossible to get rid of.... It may be the wood of the interior of the storage units, Ive seen them in the storage unit doors their were so may of them. we have treated that area alot, for months now. I really want a successful outcome with this. The last thing I want to try is setting baits inside the storage units and then sealing up the cracks the best I can all around the baseboards and the storage unit doors. Does sealent work effectively? If they are here at least they won't enter into my actual living area. I dont use the storage units and if I seal the baseboards they will go somewhere else? This has gone on long enough. My apartment business will even let me break lease terms to leave, but im so fucking tired of moving and it costs alot of money.

      If this is still an issue for you, I recommend buying Niban.
      Buy the fine granular stuff and powder the areas where you’ve seen activity, particularly at any crevices that might be potential entry/exit points for the little bugs.
      It’ll possibly take while before you see any effect, but the bugs will eventually ingest the bait and destroy their own ability to effectively process any nutrients from whatever food they consume.
      You should do this in conjunction with making sure to regularly clean your home, and possibly install any dehumidifiers if you live in a very hot and humid place, particularly in your bathroom and maybe closet.

I keep my apt at 68 degrees year round. They reproduce at the temp I think of 72 or higher. My suggestion - use sealant on every baseboard and crack around entire apt. After you do a massive company spray. Use the company but seal and use sprays and everything. The sealing and 68 degrees does wonders. I still have my spray bottle but I'm down to like 1 bug every 2 months, it's amazing, and they aren't crawling on my wall over my head or on walls. Usually on carpet even dead most the time.

Cockroaches you must move!!! With bristletail creatures you can fight and win so that's the good news. Deck out on your resources and crank your AC on. I love my place now that I got them down. They may even be fully eradicated from my crib at this level. Also if you find rotten wood get rid of it, whether that's manually or with your apt business. That's one of the top things is getting rid of the bad wood, but I know that silverfish are a winnable battle. Trust me on that. Just keep some regular bug spray on hand like I got now. Zero stress now. Doing a spray every 2 or 3 months for one bug is a cakewalk (especially after all the seal ups around baseboards). They aren't as bad as cockroaches, remember that. Another thing, do seal ups on baseboards and cracks anywhere you see them in entire apt like I did. I know it's costly but it is a winnable battle with this resources and efforts. Take it from me.

      My first time seeing those pests was when I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. When I was about to wash my hands, there they were in the damn sink. I know they love damp areas but now I hear they can get into your bedroom???

    Cute guy too. But I live in an apartment building and I think they're all throughout the building, they collect in the light fixtures, some are tiny and some are about a half inch long. I don't think getting just my apartment treated will not do it. My landlord has said that an apartment above me had a leak, BUT I've seen them throughout the building.

    Last 4 weeks I've killed 4 or so I think are silver fish. I live in north Carolina just moved into this house an I always have to have it around 65 an chill but I've been noticing alot of humidity in the house an I'm not sure what's the source like is there to much insulation or do I need a dehumidifier? I need to make it where they go away. Bugs freak me out really bad almost a phobia 😥 Also am keeping my fan on my account going all the time now feels like it still doesn't help the humanity.... idk.

    Hi Chris, thank you for this material. Is the treatment for firebrats the same as it is for Silverfish? I am having a hard time identifying which is the ones I've encountered or more material on firebrats. Especially that silverfish bait, I was thinking about getting that to lay it in my attics toward the center more away from the Earth powder stuff near the inside of the door. So lmk if these we work for firebrats too. Thanks again, I really appreciate your channel

    • @chrisvan1
      @chrisvan1  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, the treatment for firebrats is the same. Firebrats and silverfish are very similar and fall into the same family (Lepismatidae). The dekko silverfish paks will indeed work well on firebrats.

About a week ago they came over and drilled holes in the wall and so they put a dust into the wall. I haven't seen any near the baseboards like I was seeing a lot more near the baseboards and near the lower parts of the wall but for the first time I have seen one that is too hard for me to reach and kill I'm looking at it right now LOL it's basically about 15 ft up on the ceiling and so I need something that will projectile to get this guy down. Is this normal because I'm assuming because they just did the powder into the walls that I would see this?

    I have used a pest control service for 3 years.always a temporary fix. Never more than one or two at a time. I am now tackling it my self. I have never seen any in the usual places..
    Usually in my office or bedroom. I think they emanated from boxes of paper stored in closet...
    Now to get rid. Of them. I have made a couple of glass traps and also sticky boards. I have read that sometimes they are In the walls. Can you tell me now to treat? I also use the cy-kick
    And plan to use the diacomateus earth. As I said. ,, after pest control leaves, I may not see any for several weeks, but they do return. I am now on a mission to locate where they are coming from. I have no leaking water, food waste, or any attractant. Any thoughts on my
    Goal to extinguish 100%? BTW, I live in upstate ny and we have maybe 6 weeks of hot and humid weather. Again, many thanks!

Oh and they live mostly in tubes behind the wall and only crawl out when they thing that "outside" is a better place to live. And yes they are attracted to paper becouse of the starch... But if your books have little holes in them its a completly different race of silverfish

    I occasionally see them in my bathroom on the bathroom mat, but recently saw one in my room and on my sleeping bag. I’m waiting on my bed cause of shipping so I’ve been sleeping on my sleeping bag on the carpet and noticed one on my sleeping bag.
    I’m a clean person and vacuum my room every single day even bathroom. Yet i still see these damn bugs every other day or so.
