Silverfish eat the cellulose in paper products and the glue found in the bindings of books. I ve lived in 4 houses in nc as an adult and there was only 1 the second one that did not have silverfish. To capture silverfish sprinkle plaster on a wet white cotton cloth put it in a corner overnight near the silverfish s hideout. I can put the niban fg in my puff duster for the attic entry and or storage areas and get those pesky silverfish or roaches that are living in the christmas boxes.

It seems the air would dry them out. This is good for such areas as the bathroom vent a classic spot for roaches. The scent of a sal ammoniac solution should drive away silverfish within 24 hours. If you have stored photos silverfish can chew their way in and ruin those photos.
