I’m not actually worried about the coins, I was just attempting to be funny. Good suggestion about the mattboard scraps, in any case. Thanks, Dee

I have noticed that in some of my storage areas that are prone to silverfish, I have often found silverfish stuck to the underside glue strip (the one that holds the blunder trap to the floor). In some cases I have had many small silverfish on that underside glue strip and none at all on the main glue surface on the upper side. I assume that means they like to stick close to the floor surface and sheltered areas, especially when they are young. I am going to experiment with this method, though I’ll have to invest a whole 25 cents per trap rather than 5 cents as Canada has stopped using pennies! ; ) Dee Dee A.

Silverfish love to squeeze themselves into dark cracks and crevices. The pennies give them a perimeter of crevices around the entire glueboard. It's particularly helpful in situations on shelving where starchy items are stored. It's also great around the perimeter of a basement concrete floor where silverfish like to hide in the expansion joints.

The trap is not directly near paper, but there is a lot of paper-based historic materials in that room. First, is this a silverfish like a think it is? Next, what should I do in terms of notifying my supervisors and what are the best practices for next steps? Should a professional pest management company come in to inspect the space. I only found one silverfish, so does that mean there is an infestation or only a small amount (which is still problematic but not as big a cause for alarm). I look forward to hearing from you all. Thank you for your help, as always.
