I’m finding several silverfish crawling up the walls of my apartment every week. Maybe even 1+ every day.

What can I do to get rid of them?
I hate those things

Non-lethal

• By far the most effective way to be rid of silverfish for sure is to keep an area or room tidy, limiting the possible number of breeding grounds they have.
• Ensuring showers, baths etc. are rinsed clean and free of any residual that may attract hungry silverfish.
• Leaving the bathroom door open after a shower to lessen the humidity
• The scent of a solution should drive away silverfish within 24 hours.
• To capture silverfish, trap in small glass containers — silverfish cannot climb up the smooth inside walls.

Lethal

• Silverfish can also be caught by sprinkling on a wet, white cotton cloth, put it in a corner overnight, near the silverfish’s hideout.
• It is important when filling crevices in which silverfish are living or may potentially live to use a filler material which is either toxic to insects, or does not contain materials which would supply the silverfish with a source of food.
• A 1:1-ratio dispersion of or and sugar is a reliable bait to kill silverfish (relatively non-toxic to non-insects).
• Adults can be killed by freezing, but it is difficult to kill the eggs.

Yeah, I looked them up on Wikipedia. I’m wondering if someone can tell me about something they did personally that worked, or something that isn’t in Wikipedia.
There’s a big one lurking in my bedroom. I saw it the other night, but then the bastard disappeared fast.
ok, ive never heard of them before but they look like nasty little bugs
fuck those things

quick turn the a/c down as low as it goes!
clean your house and do all of your laundry and put it away.. dont give them places to hide

Yeah, if you burn the place down, no more silverfish. . Of course, there’s probably other bugs around the park bench where you’d end up sleeping.
keep everything clean and if you really want to get rid of them for a month or so at a time then you can buy those bug bombs from Lowes or Home Depot that kill just about everything.. the only thing is you have to cover furniture, turn off ventilation, etc. and prepare not to be in the apartment all day. I used to have a problem with them in my old house but I would just bomb them and the problem would disappear for a while until the effects of the bomb wore off.
