Tips to get rid of them
I keep a small number in the bathroom to give the spiders something to hunt. I've never seen one anywhere else in the house because I maintain a relative humidity well below the range which silverfish are happy in.
If you want to try chemical warfare, apparently the oil extracted from Japanese cedar will both kill the established population and repel any reinvasion.

Regarding moths eating woollen items, is it actually moth grubs that do this or is it silverfish? Silverfish are destructive little bastards and really difficult to get rid of. Tips to get rid of them welcome because I’ve got them in my new place and I’d like to deal with them before they destroy my sofa and the rest of the carpet.
