Dekko silverfish bait paks are an economic and easy way to control silverfish. Silverfish simply eat through the pack and ingest the poision inside. Place two to three packs in each infested area you are trying to control. Silverfish may take several days to a few weeks to control, depending on conditions. Pack of 24.

Place in closets, drawers, bookcases, basements, garages and other dark hidden places. Each pack lasts up to 4 months.

* Silverfish eat paper and glue with great gusto! Dekko Silverfish Paks attacks them by infusing the boric acid, paper pack and glue with an attractant that is irresistible to the critters and kills them quickly once consumed. Unlike powders, Dekko Silverfish Paks are clean, won’t leave residue on your hands, or in locations where they are placed. In the case of severe infestation, complete control may take from 3 days to 4 weeks depending upon conditions.

* Don’t open or crush individual packages. Silverfish show up most often in dark, dry areas. Place 2 or 3 packs in each infested area or location where silverfish might show up. In addition to drawers, closets, bookcases, basements and garages, use these packs in the attic and under the house. They will solve your silverfish problems quickly. If you don’t have the critters – and most folks do but don’t know it until the numbers get really large – Dekko Silverfish Paks will insure you don’t get the problem. An ounce or 2 of prevention is worth many pounds of aggravation.

8 of 8 people found this review helpful:    By Gloria on January 28, 2007 This was my second order for the Dekko Silverfish Packs. I remember many years ago having them and came upon an old packet (very old) and found the name of the company on it and the rest is history. I didn't get enough the first time so I got a bigger package this time. They really work. Thanks for the fast delivery. Was this review helpful to you?

6 of 8 people found this review helpful:    By Jennie on August 2, 2008 I found that the silverfish were breeding in the paks. The package says good for 3 months since date of packaging. Since there is no way to know when the package was made, it seems possible the ones I got had already deteriorated on the shelf. In any event, this is not the way to get rid of an infestation.   Expert response: These paks do not have an expiration date and do not deteriorate. The product label says to replace the paks every 3 - 4 months from date of purchase. Was this review helpful to you?

4 of 4 people found this review helpful:    By SJ on June 18, 2007 Thanks for the tips on my previous order a while back - these Dekko Silverfish Packs work great and the granular bait worked great!  We are doing some remodeling and found lots of bug carcasses - the basement is not nearly as scary a place anymore. Thanks again. Was this review helpful to you?

Silverfish B-Gone By Laura on July 12, 2010 We have used these Silverfish Packs for years. Every once in a while we get an infestation in one of our cupboards. We put the silverfish pack in the cupboard and the silverfish are soon gone. I was delighted to find The Dekko Silverfish Packs at Do My Own Pest Control. My usual source is no longer carrying them.

I hate Silverfish ! By Kay on August 4, 2010 It seems like I have been fighting these little pests for years. Then I discovered the Dekko Silverfish paks. I put them throughout the house and then don't see any of the pests for several months. I can always tell when it is time to put out fresh paks. This is the only product I have found that is easy to use and effective. Was this review helpful to you?

goodbye silverfish! By Stork on June 16, 2010 An easy, safe way to rid home and garage of pesky silverfish. No longer in stores here in So. Calif. Glad to be able to still buy somewhere. Great product. Was this review helpful to you?

Dekko Silverfish Packs By Norma on June 2, 2010 Elated to finally locate silverfish packs. Product works great. Order arrived promptly and website was very easy to use. Thank you. Was this review helpful to you?

silverfish control By Amina on May 24, 2010 I have used these packs before; also in an apartment and so got them to use in our present house. I think they do work because you do not see silverfish in the area where the pack is placed. In fact I am going to order another packet soon to cover the whole house. Was this review helpful to you?

		Question about this product? Ask our product experts...

Q  Are the Dekko Silverfish Packs safe to use in kitchen cabinets around dishes? A Yes, the Dekko Silverfish Packs do not release or emit any type of chemical into the air or the surrounding area, so it is perfectly safe to place these in any drawer or cabinet, even if there are food dishes in the area.  You would just want to make sure that the tablet was placed in the corner of the cabinet, and didn't have a chance of somehow falling in any food that was going to be eaten.

Q  Where do Silverfish come from and how do I get rid of silverfish? I see these silverfish most commonly in our bathroom and daughters room across the hall. Is this normal for this type of bug and secondly where are they coming from? Inside or coming in from the outside air ducts? A Silverfish can come in from the outside around your foundation or they can be brought in from boxes or other stored products.  They will hang out inside wall voids but are very commonly found in bathrooms and attics when they come out to forage for food and water.  They will eat glue and adhesives in dresser drawers, bookshelves and bookcases, paintings, etc.  We recommend our Silverfish Kit for complete control of these pests.

Q  Will silverfish eat drywall paper and tape? Will silverfish eat drywall paper and tape? I have one wall in the bedroom between a corner and a window that the tape joints have deteriorated and when I chipped at them with my finger a silverfish came out. What happens to the silverfish after they eat the Dekko silverfish pack? A Silverfish are known to eat the adhesive that is used on tape and on the drywall paper. The Dekko Silverfish paks are formulated with the active ingredient boric acid. While Dekko is safe to use around people and pets it is deadly to insects and soon after the silverfish ingest the boric acid they will die.

Q  Is it safe to place Dekko Silverfish Packs in air vents? A We would not suggest placing Dekko Silverfish Packs inside air vents.  It is not permissible on the product label to place the packs in vents, but normally that would not be a hiding place for silverfish anyways.  Normal harborage areas for silverfish are closets, drawers, bookcases, basements, garages and other dark hidden places.

Q  What is the shelf life of the Dekko Silverfish Packs? I've seen that the packs usually last 4 months once laid out but I recently found a box of packs in a closet. I'm not sure how long they have been in there, maybe up to 4 years. Would these baits still be good? Thanks! A According to the manufacturer, as long as they stay dry,Dekko Silverfish paks will remain effective indefinitely.

Q  My dog chewed on a Dekko Silverfish Pack, what should i do? A Any time a pet eats any type of insecticide you should contact your veterinarian. Be sure to have the product label ready as the veterinarian will need to know what ingredients were ingested by your pet. We always have all of the product labels available on our site for your convenience. Boric Acid, the active ingredient in the Dekko silverfish paks,  has a low acute toxicity. Small amounts e.g., a teaspoon) swallowed accidentally are not likely to cause effects but you should still check with your vet.

Q  Aren't the packs too thin for a silverfish to get inside to eat? Up for a middle of the night bathroom visit, I saw an adult silverfish next to one of the Dekko Silverfish packs we had just put out. It appeared to crawl away rather than eat the bait. The size of the silverfish looked bigger than the room between the top and bottom of the pack. Will the packs still work with larger adult silverfish? A The packs are plenty big for all silverfish.  It probably got spooked because you were in the bathroom. The manufacturer assured us it is effective for all sizes of silverfish.

Q  Are Dekko Silverfish Packs safe to use if I have pet birds? A Yes. You can simply place the Dekko Silverfish Packs in areas that are inaccessible to the birds such as under counters, behind book shelves and in storage areas.
