Below we explain how to get rid of these insects forever.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first trick is to put a little&nbsp;<strong>lavender oil<\/strong>&nbsp;in the corners favored by these insects. The aroma of lavender scares silverfish away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also place&nbsp;<strong>lavender bags<\/strong>&nbsp;in every corner of the house. To make the aroma even more intense, add a few drops of essential oil. A couple of days will be enough to no longer see these annoying insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another very effective trick consists in preparing a real&nbsp;<strong>silverfish trap<\/strong>&nbsp;. Pour some oat flakes into a jar, which you will then wrap with tape. The starch in the oat flakes will attract insects, which will climb onto the jar to get in, but will no longer be able to get out, slipping on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can spot a silverfish nest, just pour a little&nbsp;<strong>ethyl alcohol<\/strong>&nbsp;on it to eliminate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that silverfish like humid places, so if possible, put some&nbsp;<strong>baking soda in a jar<\/strong>&nbsp;so it can absorb some moisture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It often happens, especially when we clean the house, that we come across the famous &#8221;\u00a0silver fish\u00a0&#8220;.
