Tricks to keep silverfish away from your home and never let them come back

Lavender
An effective natural repellent against these annoying insects, lavender is also very useful for giving a delicious scent to the bathroom.

Pour a few drops of essential oil in various corners of the bathroom or closet. Alternatively, you can also use lemon or orange essential oils.

Jar trap
In addition to repelling silverfish directly, another option is to set a trap that can eliminate the problem forever in just one night. One of the most popular is the jar trap.

Wrap the outside of a jar with tape and put some oat flakes inside. The silverfish will be attracted by the starch in the oats, they will enter the jar thanks to the tape and will get trapped inside, sliding on the glass.

Cinnamon
This is one of the best silverfish repellants. Cinnamon is cheap and has a wonderful aroma too.

Place a glass full of cinnamon powder in the bathroom, or sprinkle it in the corners most frequented by these unwanted insects.
