Answer 1

Fill a bowl with one cup of water and begin to mix flour into it until you have created a concoction with the consistency of thin paint

.

Coat both sides of several index cards with the mixture and allow them to dry.

Place the dried index cards in areas believed to be frequented by the silverfish or firebrats.

This should help with extermination.

Answer 3

any roach poison will kill them.

Answer 4

You should call an airconditon guy, or an exterminator over to check the moisture under your house.   Seeing silverfish is a good indication that you have a moisture problem.   You may even have a small leak, or your air conditioning is swetting which would create moisture.   These guys can run tests and investigate where the problem is.   If you choose the exterminator for example, you don't have to have him put any pesticide down.   All you have to do is get him to investigate the problem.
