- All you need is a glass jar, sticky tape or packing tape and some flour and you can make a silverfish trap. The tape, on the outside of the jar, provides a rough surface for the silverfish to climb. But one inside the bottle the smooth glass walls can not be climbed and the silverfish is trapped inside. The flour attracts the silverfish to the jar.
I just woke up with one next to my face, and I immediately looked up a solution. I cannot stand them!! Thanks for the information, I'm going to try these in the morning!

Lmao poor guy just wanted some of your dead skin
Hannah Wheeler lol. Most people probably just woke up and seen one. I did too
@Ajit Kushwaha-_- LMAO
they can climb on beds??
I scared now, silver fish are bad enough in minecraft! Why must they exist in real life!
they look so cute!
Ernesto Bayalan ikr
@@tjpotvin yeah
@@ernestobayalan3105 as someone who has a house infestation of silverfish, I’m scared and crying because of them but ur opinion..
@@ernestobayalan3105 But they eat books and papers. Wolf (no web) spiders get a free pass in our house, and that helps.
You’re supposed to put a couple teaspoons of sugar in the water as bait.
Hi thank you for making this video! I wondered if you had any tips for removing a silverfish from my laptop. It must have crawled into the Kensington lock
You must look around in your bathroom [WC], kitchen sink and have all water leaks repaired. Caulk all windows, cracks in exterior walls, and use weather stripping around doors. In Spring and Summer use a dehumidifier to reduce RH to 38-42%. Once that is completed you have a fighting chance to knock them out with water traps, boric acid, glue traps, and direct trauma. Avoid toxic chemicals, chorine, etc. Good luck!
Thanks for the tips!
one jumped off my phone onto my shirt, i like them but they getting annoying and its time to bring out some guns
How can you like them?!
@@xo3040 They are kind of cute
@@xo3040 LOL Ikrrrr how can you like them?? I was just sitting on the toilet and a little bastard somehow jumped onto my shoulder and I flung it off and it ran away 😭😭
They're not disgusting to me, just so annoying... I really hate insects moving around and mess with my stuff😢
The 50 dislikes are from silverfish
lol!
🤣🤣
I've been trying to get rid of these for months in my room by using bleach, obviously it doesn't keep them away! I just saw 2 under my bed as well but they can't crawl up which is good. But it's still so disgusting and scary, at least 2-3 come out from under the skirting board every night. I'm gonna give this a try !
Found one under my pillow a while back… not impressed!
I saw like 2 or 3 in my room, I saw 2 like a month ago, but I saw 1 in my room today when i woke up.
Im just worried if they could go inside my ear or something while sleeping
I found one on my bathroom ceiling...trust they can crawl
Did it work
i might try the flower method, i need the silverfish alive cause i plan to add them to my vivarium
I had a flood in my house and now years later I see them in the kitchen so I'm going to try the flour in the jar trap
Does salt work
i wonder if you can eliminate using flour and pour boric powder in there.
Method does not work at all... tried 3 jars of various sizes all taped up like the video and left them out for a month and zero silver fish took the bait.
Put a cracker with sprinkled sugar in the ßottom for ßest results
How do you fillet a Silverfish.
Does anybody know?
I hate to say this but I tried BOTH...and neither worked....see none in jar...saw several on my FLOOR
Same here.
Put bread in ut they love dry stuff
they like wawa --bath tub.
Collect some spiders; they love silverfish!!
Oh they do? That’s great. I Don’t mind Spiders at all. They just make beautiful webs no harm but silverfish makes me paranoid like crazy.
@@jlind3891yes!! Another thing spiders have helped me with are carpet beetles. I never ever kill spiders (unless theyre poisonous), I probably have one or two in every room. Free pest control :)
what to put in the water in the bottle, I ded hear it clear
? thanks
flour goes in the bottle.
doesn't using food as bait attrack additional bugs to your home? Like ants or Roaches ?
no i dont think so. you store food in your cabinets "as bait" all the time
Great info!
tyfs
Glad it was helpful!
So you caught one silverfish?
catch anyting yet?
they probably didn't go for the soapy water as the scent in the soap will have deterred them....as I do know that putting bars of soap in ones wool stash seems to keep them away too....along with cedar/rosemary/orange oil/clove oil....etc.........
Barb Kramer I'm about to make a metaphorical oozie out of a spray bottle and clove oil. Thanks
Wool stash?
@@judyl.761 Most people in the U.S. have a healthy stash of wool stored in their homes. Maybe not in your country
@@victorf8301 for wat reason
You need a ramp leading up to the jar because they can crawl up smooth surfaces.
Great video, thanks :)
No problem!
I read silverfish eat starch, so anything starchy, such as a slice of bread placed inside the jar should work too.
Is that Murray from Flight of the Concords?
I know this comment is from years ago, but I am glad that someone else thought so too.
@@MrNinjq No. Murray is a Kiwi (New Zealander), this guy is an Aussie
Is the tape sticky side facing out or in?
Sticky side facing in
@@Howto..GardenGarageHouse how come they can climb tape but not glass?
where can we find silverfish?
you r the best thx
Your link to your channel on the top of the video is not working
Poor fishies got trapped
Might also want to buy a gallon of Raid Max with an autotrigger, though, I've killed about thirty this summer using a spray bottle filled with bleach.
Diatomaceous earth under your house and in the house in corners will knock them out.
diatomaceous earth..cheap..it works
i guess ill try it....
Use bread, they're not attracted to soapy water.
they are attracted to moisture. Soap drowns them quicker but you need only a single drop of fragrance-free soap.
ITALIAN PLEASE :) TRADUCTION?
I like silverfish because they were the first insect added to Minecraft
Ahh why drown them of all ways to die?
WTF
Why would you want to drown them unless you enjoy cruelty. Just catch and release them outside.
