It often happens, especially when cleaning the house, that we come across the famous \u201c silverfish<\/strong> \u201d. These insects like the damp, dark corners of our homes, which is why they are most often noticed in bathrooms or near bookshelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silverfish or Lepisma saccharina<\/strong> are small silver-colored insects that move very quickly, are harmless and reproduce easily . <\/strong>Below we explain how to get rid of these insects forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first trick is to add a little lavender oil to the corners favored by these insects. <\/strong>The scent of lavender deters silverfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can<\/strong> also place lavender sachets in every corner of the house. To make the aroma even more intense, add a few drops of essential oil. A few days are enough to stop seeing these annoying insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another very effective trick is to prepare a real silverfish trap<\/strong> . Put some oatmeal in a jar and then wrap it with tape. The starch in the oatmeal attracts insects that climb onto the glass to get in but are unable to get out and slip on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you spot a silverfish nest, simply pour some ethyl alcohol<\/strong> over it to eliminate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that silverfish like damp places. Therefore, if possible, put some baking soda in a glass<\/strong> so that it can absorb some moisture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It often happens, especially when cleaning the house, that we come across the famous \u201c silverfish \u201d.
