Sulphur for Silverfish
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have just been reading your page in The Listener and saw the letter from Westland about silverfish. I had the same trouble in my place and after trying D.D.T. and everything I ever heard of, I was told to get ¥% Ib. ordinary sulphur from the chemist and sprinkle it round, everywhere. In this way I got rid of them all. I never see one now, but I keep sprinkling fresh sulphur every three weeks or so, just in case. Evidently they won’t come anywhere near this simple remedy.
