I know this is a gardening newsgroup, but does anyone know how to rid my
house of silverfish? I know they like dampness,and in the warmer months I
run a dehumidifier all the time and keep my humidity low, but here in the
north (it's snowing today!) the heat is still on and they have started
coming out. Is there a spray I can use or poder that will keep them
out of the house?

Not a spray, but bait packs. They are small pieces of cardboard that
contain a powder (20% boric acid powder). I have a lot of books and
don't want to risk silverfish damage to my books so I place these bait
packs on the book shelves behind the books. It has worked.

Silverfish will eat any paper they find in a dark out of the way place.
When you see old papers with pieces missing, it was the silver fish that
ate it.

I bought mine from "Walter Drake".

They are available at:

If you google "silverfish packs" you will find others.
