Silverfish can settle on flowers and greenery that you keep in the bathroom.
Silverfish not only spoil the appearance of plants, but can also transmit various diseases and pests.
To get rid of silverfish, you must first determine its species. There are several types of silverfish, which differ in shape, color, and size.
Some of them have a protective shell, while others do not. Depending on the type of silverfish, you can choose different methods of dealing with it.
One of the easiest and safest methods is mechanical removal of silverfish using a brush, cotton swab or cotton swab. You need to carefully scrape the insects off the leaves and stems of plants, and then rinse them with warm water. This method is suitable for silverfish without a shell.
Another way is to treat plants with special preparations that can be purchased in gardening stores or made yourself.
For example, you can use a soap solution (1 tablespoon of liquid soap per 1 liter of water), an alcohol solution (1 cup of alcohol per 1 liter of water), or a vinegar solution (1 tablespoon of vinegar per 1 liter of water).
It is necessary to spray the plants with these solutions every 5-7 days until the silverfish disappears completely. This method is suitable for silverfish with a shell.
In addition, to prevent silverfish from appearing in the future, you need to maintain optimal conditions for plants in the bathroom.
It is necessary to provide good lighting, regular watering and ventilation.
You can also use biological methods of protection, for example, introducing beneficial insect predators that feed on silverfish.
High humidity in the bathroom should not be a reason to refuse flowers and greenery.
If you monitor your plants and detect and eliminate silverfish in a timely manner, you will be able to enjoy the beauty and freshness of your green corner.
