Hi everyone,
I am no stranger to the silverfish problem, both in institutions as a
former collections manager and in home collections. My worst case that I
had was in a 12-box cardboard shelving unit for my collection of over
16,000 trading cards. The containers and unit are made of cardboard, the
cards are made of cardboard. So what kept happening was every time that I
would take out a drawer (think a long cardboard box with a lid), one or
more silverfish would startle me, and it got to the point where I figured
that every time I opened one of those drawers I would have one or more
silverfish jump around in it. It was awful, and the storage unit is too
heavy to put on any furniture we have, so it had to be on the floor.
We eliminated the problem with Harris Roach Tablets (they work great on
silverfish and others), which contain a lure and our good pest-killing
friend, borax. These are great if you want to put them in corners behind
things or in crevices. The link:
https://www.amazon.com/Harris-Famous-Silverfish-Killer-Tablets/dp/B001B4ZNGA
I also used HARRIS Boric Acid Roach and Silverfish Killer Powder w/Lure,
which is a powder in a bottle that you can very precisely place on the
floor, along edges, and so forth. if you'd like to take a look, a link to
it is here: https://a.co/d/9G0QH38.
I highly recommend both of these tools for silverfish. We saw the
population diminish pretty quickly into zero. I haven't seen a silverfish
in years, and I still have that cardboard monstrosity.
I hope maybe this can be helpful to you. Good luck!

> Here's Walter the Octopus in his jar. The lid has two lugs molded into its
> underside so that specimens could be hung using butcher's string.
> Originally the lid would have had a steel bow across its top that hooked
> over the lip on both sides and had a vertical screw in the middle to allow
> the gasket to be compressed (as seen on a smaller jar here). The bow is
> lost, but I just used silicone caulk when I put Walter in this jar in 2001
> and it has held fluid perfectly for 21 years so far.
