Silverfish during summer
Posted on 7/20/25 at 7:21 pm

Every year I have this problem in my house no matter how many times I spray for bugs.
My next route would be getting 1 or 2 dehumidifiers to put in my house. Has anyone had any luck with this?
I only have this problem in the summertime when the moisture is high in my house from the air conditioning

Combat traps work for me.

I have the same issue with earwigs.
House is always at 50% humidity. I don't understand it.

I find that 90% of bugs in the house come from outside. Rake any plant debris away from your foundation outside. Also thin out any plants that shade the area and prevent it from drying out.
I had some large azalea bushes that were producing this kind of conditions. When I eliminated the conditions, the insect problem inexplicably stopped. I have a brick house with no apparent cracks in the brickwork or the foundation…but insects were damn sure getting in.

Interesting... Didn't consider that plants near the foundation could cause the issue.

It isn't a guarantee, i have a rockbed on each side of the house that isn't concrete.
I have borax in every exterior wall.
I spray termiticide levels of poison along all exterior walls...and then circle the home to a distance of 200ft.
I have humidity between 46-55%.
These little bastards still get in.
One thing I recently added that was a huge help, granular insecticide in a spreader along all edges of the house and I spread some on all concrete. I left the concrete not blown off for a few days.
Haven't seen one since.
