Warning, protect your star wars against Silverfish

Just an update, the silverfish are not gone yet. Last month I saw one on a plate that I took out on the closet in the kitchen and I killed it. I was glad I did not put my food on it. Then I said damn some survived and they are back :rolleyes: The same day I saw one on the floor in my bedroom and I also killed that one, it came out under my robot vacum cleaner after it had cleaned my bedroom. I used poison again on the floor in all rooms. Next day I found one dead on the floor in the bedroom. Last week I found one in the livingroom dead on the floor and today I found another one dead on the floor in the livingroom. I hope they stay away from my star wars boxes and instructions. I have protected my comics and my moc in sealed plastic boxes but I do not have room enough to do the same with my star wars boxes :(

Oh no! Silverfish have apparently been a big problem for people at my Uni, luckily I've only found one in the bathroom and didn't have any trouble after cleaning everthing but some people have had it really bad. Annoying little things. I hope you can get rid of them for good!

I'm sorry to hear you're still having problems, Lars. I'm sure your efforts will have reduced the silverfish problem considerably (and was / is therefore well worth doing), however removing them all completely might be very difficult, sadly.

If you are unable to put your Star Wars boxes in larger plastic boxes, might you be able to place them in thick transparent plastic bags sealed with cable ties instead? If you added some silica gel packets to each bag before sealing them, you should prevent the risk of mould, and at least it should stop the silverfish from getting at them.

Good luck, and please keep us updated.
