I live in Florida and silverfish seem to thrive here. After reading your article and all if the comments, I can tell all of you that none of what you said works. I have tried all the remedies mentioned and the silverfish are still ruling and ruining my home. I too am a quilter with lots of fabric in the house. I do use bags the can be sealed and the air removed to store finished quilts. I put cedar blocks in the boxes where other quilts are stored. This works to some extent. After being in my home for six years, I have now gotten an infestation of large black spiders. They have been dying by shoe power. I will be spraying in interior of the house in just a bit to try to get rid if them. I am really at the end of my rope for all if the bugs here. Palmetto bugs my tush! Call them what they are, cockroaches. Rant over.
