Product Information

Another common ingredient found in natural pesticides is peppermint. This is because the plant leaves secrete oil able to drive off anything from spiders to ants and even silverfish.

The scent of the mint plant will disrupt transmitters with the silverfish, making it hard for them to use their senses to seek food or mates. The oil can prove toxic and fatal to pests such as silverfish as well.Peppermint oil is best used, instead of peppermint plants themselves. You can use these glue traps flat and place them in high-traffic areas for household pests. In the alternative, you can use them covered along baseboards and other wall areas. For example, they typically last for several months making far more effective than sprays. Additionally, many powdered insecticides are safer for around the house use. From clove oil to cedarwood, and even more floral scents such as lavender are all perfect for chasing off this nuisance that has a real bad habit of eating at your clothing, books, and anything else covered in soft material and glue.Let’s explore the different forms of clove that can help you repel silverfish effectively. Clove Oil Try mixing and matching cloves with other herbs and scents that are known to repel silverfish. For example, place cloves and lavender in a sachet or combine clove oil with cinnamon oil in a diffuser. Silverfish survive in most environments, but thrive in conditions of high humidity and can often be found in dark, damp areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms and attics.
