For several years now, at least since before my time, we've placed the DEKKO brand silverfish paks in every window (behind curtains) and in our storage areas, however we never really had any evidence proving their worth. Recently, upon the recommendation of our pest service entomologist and rep, we've placed a few sticky traps laced with "Entice", a boric acid based insecticide transported on a starch (I think corn based). Does anyone have any experience or opinion on either method of silverfish control? Which is better and proven so. Or maybe have another suggestions for baiting and killing/trapping silverfish? I would like to choose one proven method and implement it throughout. The DEKKO paks aren't cheap and tend to get kicked under shelving and objects, forgotten about until sucked up by a vacuum. Thanks much, Matt Matthew A.
