How to Keep Silverfish Out of Your Bed
WouterKeeping a silverfish from entering your bed can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are a few tricks that will keep these little bugs out.
One of the best ways to keep them out of your bed is by using a dehumidifier. Using a dehumidifier can help control moisture in your room and prevent silverfish infestation.
It is also a good idea to open windows and doors. Silverfish thrive in humid environments. This is why they are often found in the kitchen, bathroom, and basement.
You can prevent silverfish from gaining access to your bed by keeping your bed off the floor and encased in a bed protector. Silverfish can enter through gaps in the mattress and bedding.
Aside from being a nuisance, silverfish can cause some serious damage to your home. They can damage paper, textiles, and books.
In addition to damaging your possessions, silverfish can be a serious allergen. Some people are allergic to their droppings. Symptoms include a coughing, itchy throat, and mucus build-up.
If you are still unable to rid your home of these pests, you may want to hire a professional. These professionals have the tools and expertise to get the job done right.
You should also clean your bed and mattress on a regular basis. A vacuum cleaner can help with this, as well as a moisture absorber to remove any excess water.
Another trick is to use a cedar wood oil. Cedarwood is known to repel silverfish.
