During the cleaning, it was difficult to win the famous “silverfish.” These objects represent the wet and dry areas of our house, and for that reason they stand out especially in the bathroom or near the bookcase.
Silverfish are small, silvery insects that move very quickly, are harmless, and reproduce easily. We then throw them away, because we can still get rid of these insects.
The first tip is to apply some lavender oil to your favorite silverfish from this article. The scent of lavender will envelop the silverfish.

You can also place lavender sachets in every corner of the house. To make the aroma even stronger, add a few drops of essential oil. I'll take a day to look at more of these boring things.
Another very effective trick is to prepare a suitable trap for silverfish. I poured some oatmeal into a bowl, which I could not loosen with tape. The starch from the oat flakes attracts the insects, which get stuck and thus enter the bar, but are useless because they fly up onto the glass.
If you see a silverfish nest, simply pour some rubbing alcohol on it to remove it.
If the silverfish have been soaked in wet water, add a little bicarbonate, if possible, to a bath of mature butter to absorb some of the moisture.

Londoners have been commiserating over the outrageous amount they’re paying for one thing in the capital. Travel, rent and food costs have all shot up in price over the last few years but there is one thing that seems to be so shockingly expensive that people can’t stop talking about it.
Gone are the days when you used to be able to go to the pub with a fiver and come back with change. But now you may even only just about scrape coming back with change from a tenner at some London drinking spots.
One poster on Reddit said that they paid a staggering £9 for a pint when out in central London. They said: “I work in the City and nearly fell over when charged nine pounds for a pint recently. Also £24 for a large G&T.
"I don’t even spend £24 on bottles of wine at home. A more senior colleague probably on more than twice my salary was also aghast at a £9 pint.”
'Deep down, I was fuming'
Another poster had a similar experience: “I spent £8.40 on a pint. To the untrained eye, I was a normal person happy to pay that. But deep down, I was fuming and having a major panic. I think everyone’s feeling the same.”
Why is the cost of a pint so high in London?
Rising rents, staffing costs, duty and business rates have all been ingredients in the recipe for the £9 pint in London. Zubin Sethna, Professor of Entrepreneurial Marketing & Consumer Behaviour at Regent's University London, said: “It's almost like saying a pint of Soho is carrying the weight of London's property market on its shoulders.
"The median market rate for rent is so high nationally, living wage and London living wage have also gone up. In hospitality they have to match these rates or loose staff - the money has to come from somewhere. My heart goes out to the publicans because many people don’t think about the full costs."
Changing drinking and working habits are also affecting London's night-time economy. Young people are drinking at home to avoid high costs, while lunch time office pub trips are less frequent with the increase in home working, says Professor Sethna.
Other drinking models, like doing so at home, are likely to become more popular as the price of a pint continues to rise - leading to a two-tier drinking culture of those who can afford to drink out and those who can't, he added.
How can I get a cheap pint?
Luckily, there are plenty of ways of finding cheaper ways to drink in the capital. Cheapest Pints is an interactive map which shows all of the spots in the city where you can grab a drink for a decent price.
