To:Nancy Hartman;
 
        I've had good success with diatomaceous earth, like they sue in
pool filters, for ants.  It is made up of tiny fossel shells that have
microscopic sharp edges that get caught in the ants' exoskeleton & pierce
the membrane & they dehydrate to terminal state.  ( I hate the "D" word as
I've had too much experience with it lately).
 
        Anyway, I'm not sure if it will work on silverfish, but it's non
toxic, & I've even heard of people feeding it to farm animals to rid them
of internal paracytes!
 
Good luck,  Gary
