I hate these things and they are popping up more and more everyday. Is it just silverfish season or is my house just silverfish infested. I hate the things. How do I get rid of em? Is their a natural way?

I usually burn the house down while laughing maniacally. Then you're free to pick a new house without silverfish.

First, get rid of their food source - if you've got pets, start keeping their feeding area immaculately clean cuz silverfish are a sucker for those regions of your house (or at least seemed to be when I had them). Then, get all your food, your pets food, yourself and other people, and any critters/items you don't want covered in poison out of the house. Lastly, buy a big aerosol-powered bug bomb (or however it will take to provide adequate coverage within your house) and follow the instructions on the package.

While I can't say for sure this will work for you, it worked for me. Good luck.

Can Oldmaboats law be applied to all these replies or does the law only apply to an original post?

You clearly don't know what Oldsmoboat's Law is.

Evidently not. I didn't even get the name right.

oh snap!

That is what I saw. That is screwed up. Those things are disgusting, but as I only see them every once in a while and mostly in the tub and sink, I just wash them down the drain. Roaches are much more annoying.
