There are thick paper wrapped DE (diatomaceous earth) packets that are readily available on Ebay and probably in some hardware stores. They are approx 3x4 inches and you can just place them on bookshelves and in drawers or file cabinets. The silverfish are attracted to the paper and come in contact w/the DE which kills them. Since I have been using them the unnerving numbers of silverfish I've had in my home have been reduced to none. I believe Borax is actually DE. You could probably make your own by wrapping DE in wallpaper squares and gluing together. DE packets are effective and so much neater and easier to work with than glue traps. And as our resident retired Pharmacist mentioned, spiders in the home will help keep down bug populations.
