The Mercadona flakes that eliminate silverfish from our beds and soil

Enjoying a clean and tidy home is a wonderful feeling that compensates for the efforts made to achieve it. Therefore, as soon as an intruder sneaks in, we instantly worry and try to get rid of them.

We are not talking about thieves or marauders, but about those little animals that won't leave us alone. One of the most fearsome is the silverfish, which finds the perfect place to reproduce in our home.

Also known as silverfish or anchovies, these microscopic insects are said to resemble small fish with legs and antennae. Lepisma saccharina (scientific term) would not be a threat to humans themselves. On the contrary, they could target our kitchen and hoard whatever they find there.

Their favorite foods are sugar and starches, such as pasta and flour. Therefore, they could easily empty the pantry without us noticing. In addition, they are especially attracted to damp and dark places, so they can nest in other rooms. Fortunately, there are some practical, safe, and non-invasive natural solutions to get rid of silverfish.

Honey and baking soda

Among the most popular remedies to eliminate the invasion are honey and baking soda. The first would serve to attract with its sweetness. Simply place a few sheets of paper sprinkled with honey in different parts of the room and wait. In this way, unwanted guests adhere to the substance without being able to escape.

Baking soda, on the other hand, could work in conjunction with simple sugar. You have to prepare a mixture of the two ingredients and pour it into a bowl. If ingested, this solution should kill the bugs. In addition to these two excellent systems, we could use another formidable ally to say goodbye to the silverfish once and for all. All we need is a packet of oats.

Put some in a jar, and then place the DIY trap in the places these insects target. So that they can enter easily, you can place a wooden stick as a bridge. Another help to counteract the spread of insects could be the installation of a practical dehumidifier. A less humid environment should discourage them from setting foot in our homes.
