The environuts have surely had that option eliminated by now. Decades ago I lived in an apartment that had a bad case of silverfish (no roaches, thank heaven). I laid down a good, healthy bead of the foaming RAID along all the baseboards, and around the toilet and all the pipes that came and went. Then I repeated it. The silverfish were about 99% gone after that. I'd find the odd one here and there, mostly killing them, but the masses evidently decamped to more friendly units. My mother lives in a seniors' home that has cockroaches. She came up with the very clever idea of placing masking tape in certain locations with the sticky side exposed so that any crawlies must travel over it to get where they're going. It works! The crawlies get stuck on the masking tape, where they may be administered capital punishment at her leisure. Silverfish seem to like to use water and sewage pipes as highways. Perhaps you could try my mother's idea in the appropriate places. -- Tegger |
