The traditional measure against silverfish is boric acid. Here in the US we have Dekko brand silverfish paks - maybe there's some equivalent in Europe. </div>

Something is eating paper (with a preference for paper + glue) in one of our collection offices. I was thinking cockroach, but was confused by the shimmering trails. Traps haven’t turned up anything yet. And so far the pest only eats paper in one office (hopefully
contained there for now). Any ideas who the culprit is? </div>
