 Silverfish Although most silverfish live outdoors, they readily can be found in homes. Silverfish prefer places with high moisture, such as basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer uses the power of Diatomaceous Earth as an effective method of controlling silverfish. Insects cannot develop a resistance to Diatomaceous Earth since it is a mechanical killer. However, insects can build up an immunity to synthetic chemicals. | | | Natural & Organic Controls What? Applying a product such as Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer uses diatomaceous earth as an effective method of controlling silverfish.  How? Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer harnesses the power of Diatomaceous Earth (DE). Diatomaceous Earth is a dust-like product that contains the crushed fossilized remains of diatoms. The dust is ingested by the silverfish and affects the cuticle of the insect, resulting in its dehydration. The best part about Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer is that insects cannot develop a resistance to it since there are no chemicals to which they can build up an immunity. If the area where the Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer is applied becomes wet, it will need to be reapplied. When? Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer should be applied as soon as the insects are discovered. Why Choose a Natural Solution? Natural solutions break down quickly into their natural elements. They are preferable to chemical pesticides that leave residuals where they are sprayed causing long-term detrimental affects on the environment. Natural Predators Since any predators of silverfish tend to be outdoor creatures, there are no indoor natural predatory controls for silverfish. Safer®Brand brings you a variety of effective insect control products that are gentler on the environment! Most of them proudly display the OMRI Listed® organic seal and comply for use in organic gardening!  | | |  |
