Silverfish Attic Bomb

If you have books in your attic these insects can do quite a bit of damage to them.

Silverfish attic bomb.

This house had an attic fan. The scent of a sal ammoniac solution should drive away silverfish within 24 hours. If you have stored photos silverfish can chew their way in and ruin those photos. That s what boric acid does.

It seems the air would dry them out. A 1 1 ratio dispersion of borax and sugar is a reliable bait to kill silverfish. To capture silverfish sprinkle plaster on a wet white cotton cloth put it in a corner overnight near the silverfish s hideout. If you have these insects in your attic there are a few things you should be aware of.

I can put the niban fg in my puff duster for the attic entry and or storage areas and get those pesky silverfish or roaches that are living in the christmas boxes. I ve lived in 4 houses in nc as an adult and there was only 1 the second one that did not have silverfish. 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. So i have to wonder if the fan prevented them from making a nest in the attic.

Silverfish eat the cellulose in paper products and the glue found in the bindings of books. This is good for such areas as the bathroom vent a classic spot for roaches. I can also traipse the beams and get to a specific spot and puff puff all treated.
