I have these in my building and there's nothing I can really do to completely rid myself of them since it's a massive 22 floor apartment complex that hundreds of people live in, and they most likely enter my unit through someone else's. Every time I see one it pisses me off and ruins my day
They're pretty cool creatures actually. They just eat glue and stuff. They're completely harmless. Much more harmless than hosing down your home with poison!
I hate them they scare me fr. I SQUISHED ON OF THESE BUGS AND IT PRETENDED TO BE DEAD BUT IT WASNT AND WHEN I WANTED TO THROW IT AWAY IT JUST RUN AWAY.
got flour beetles and silverfish and i live in a place where getting a hold of treatement products is a complete nightmare.. im very close to just buying a tent and living outdoors.. ill be happy to share my tent with 10 spiders rather than this disgusting hell. fcking kill me!
Im 11 i hawe those thingz in mi bed room but mi silver fish are white what do i do they are fast and similar to those but smaler mi mum seys that is a mosketo larva
Is it possible for the silverfish to leave on their own if I stop staying in my room? I don't have a lot of paper and assessment books in my room because my dad removed most of them. This is very important to me, thank you.
good video. i have a 120 yr old carriage house its basically a garage with a unfinished upstairs. roof is dripping. birds are getting in through the fascia. shitting all over the place. noticed silverfish inside. cant get rid of them until i get a new roof(never going to happen) and seal the fascia so the birds stop coming inside
@@linctexpilot8337 its on my bucket list still lol. have alot to do. quote for a new roof is around 20k and thats the lowest ive found and i dont have 20 grand. got more important stuff to fix first on the main house. put some aluminum fiber on it for now. got all the birds out. been painting and sealing all around it. 2k sq ft house and 1200 sq ft garage is hard to get done alone. anyways the silverfish have been minimal to none compared to last year. ive only seen them outside on the walls in 100% humidity in the unpainted areas that i havent got to yet. as far as inside ive seen prob less then 10. and 3 of them were from a flash flood i had some cardboard on the ground and when i threw that out they were underneath it. ive rented a dumpster and cleaned the entire upstairs threw everything out. threw out most the old insulation on the roof. used a shop vac and cleaned every single corner possible and threw about tons of bags of nesting etc. took a scrub brush and scrubbed all the wood that had any sort of droppings. also doing more research norway had a huge silverfish problem. turns out there are multiple species. there is one species that breeds like crazy insane youll see them nonstop. and another species that youll spot here and there about as much as any other bug similar to earwig spottings. all these websites try to scare you into getting their treatments and paying thousands.
now tell me one thing, THE SPAWNER IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND AND THEY KEEP APEARING EVEN WHEN I SPRINKLED BORIC ACIDE WVWRYWHERE IN MY APARTMENT HELP FFS THESE THINGS ARE SO ANOYINGGG
I'm trying Raid that kills all bugs including silverfish, wiping down all my walls with bleach mixed with water, plugging holes/crevices, and putting old books in outside storage closet. These have been in my apartment since day 1 of move-in and management says "oh we spray once a month?"
Hell, we must all be on the same Louisiana street! I've literally been on all fours every night this week armed with Ortho Home Defense hunting for the cracks that these things are coming through. I'm at a level of desperation...however, I must admit of all household pests or insects, I'd have to choose these little bastards.
Thankyou, came here looking for silverfish control, this video educated me that I actually have a few firebrats about... now onto your firebrat video :)
I live in an old apartment building (made in 1960s) and i think the whole building is infested with these things..... and management doesn't do anything about it. They're just like "deal with it i guess"
@@michaelmerck7576 I did ask if they had plans to call a pest control people to deal with silverfish infestation, but no luck unfortunately. From what I heard, the owners are senile old dudes that doesn't care with ego problem apparently.
I forgot to add that I asked the building manager, not the owner because they live in a different country. but he unfortunately only has limited say in overall building maintenance, so I feel bad for him.
Building managers are crooks. Don't feel bad for them, they make a living off of enabling crappy owners. Feel bad for the little critters, the silverfish. They're harmless and probably doing a lot more good than the building manager & owner. Keep your floors clean and they'll go somewhere else to find food.
One of the best ways I have found…. Moth balls!!! Place them under your mattress, in draws, under the silk… so forth. And finally crush the moth balls, and place the powder all around the rooms cracks “for example the cracks dividing the wall, and the floor”…. Every night rub yourself with lavender oil mixed with your body lotion so they will stay far away from you, and your laundry basket do to the leftover scent… Wash your floors and walls with bleach water, everyday for at least a week. Put dried whole cloves, crushed cinnamon sticks, and lavender stems all over your home in little drawstring bags in the couch, under your bed, in your closet you name it. Spoil yourself with scented candles, and defusers they hate strong scents… Get a night lap in the rooms they are most present as they hate light. It’s a process but once they are gone it is so worth it, plus this will keep them from ever coming back repeat this at least every 3 months.

so sinds this year ive been seeying silver fish. my apartment is verry clean and i have no idea where they came from. i dont see many of them, maybe 1 every month. and i kill them imidiatly on sight by crushing them. also ive seen both smaller and bigger ones. i usually spot them on my wall since its white and easy to notice them.

I have the same problem as yours. Not sure what to do.
caulk als much crevices as you can find, be very thorough.
@@kwhuisman this would be a massive waste of time and effort as i only see like one per every 2 months

My personal favorite way to get rid of these pests is to break their spawner, and then destroy any nearby blocks that are infested.
I don't understand these bugs. Who told them to live in my house? Could they at least ask for my permission before they eat my damn food?!
I just talk to them and they politely leave

Well, they arent so nice
I wish it was that easy 😂

If u stop staying in ur room, it will be more dark and safe for them to go around eating stuff, so no don't leave ur room
They're completely harmless. If you want to befriend them, they like goldfish cracker crumbs and maybe gluesticks.
I just use my diamond sword, there only Gaurding the end portal, so just break the spawner and you should be good 👍

The older building gives them lots of harborage areas but treating the attic ,wall voids and outside perimeters will kill them

This can also be done without chemicals. Natural ways you find on you tube.
Great advices!!
Silverfish have been in my house for years, and i aint ever had a problem. They are kinda cute also.
dude they destroy your house
@@charlot6590 No they don't all they do is eat leftover skincells and microscopic paper on the floor.
@@albin4323bro they r in my fuckin food and stuff...
Ya, they are cool little creatures

Now you can also cook them, but make sure you have lots of them because they shrink in size.

"How to get rid of silverfish"
Bane of arthropods: 🗿
I would not use ficam except in the attic and unfinished areas in basements
could they politely leave my art school projects alone
YOU DIDN’T TELL ME THEY COULD JUMP! MINE ACTED DEAD THEN TRIED TO JUMP ME AND NOW I CAN’T FIND IT!!
Does this work on carpet beetles?
so sinds this year ive been seeying silver fish. my apartment is verry clean and i have no idea where they came from. i dont see many of them, maybe 1 every month. and i kill them imidiatly on sight by crushing them. also ive seen both smaller and bigger ones. i usually spot them on my wall since its white and easy to notice them.
Me2 i hate these fking things i would rather have spiders in my room😭😭
Get up at night, use your cell phone flashlight and you will see that your apartment is filled with them.
They usually show up when the house is empty or with little movement like at noon. Maybe that's why we don't see them often.
Use a enchanted sword
I thought Silverfish were cute and cuddly like in Minecraft 😭😭😭
I have one in my house
Well that was a waste of my time
I found them under my gaslift bed and I don’t know what to do!!!!!
Can they climb
yeah
Yes and they can jump vertically 2 feet!
They can run on horizontal surfaces but only walk up vertical surfaces, so you'll most likely find them on the floor
@@teroblepuns not true they can even walk on the ceiling
@@lisserkc6000 is the ceiling not horizontal?
Does anyone use anything besides bifen anymore?
Lmao spraying the grass and outside of the home to get rid of silverfish is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
😂😅B
