Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this to happen to me.
I always lived in a very clean home in an upscale suburb.
I had put some things in storage and, after a year, decided it was ridiculous to keep spending $100 a month on stuff I'd probably never use again. So, I brought the stuff into my home with the idea of giving most of it to charity. I left it sitting for about a week before starting to get rid of the belongings.
A few weeks later, I noticed two very unfamiliar bugs scuttling across my kitchen floor early one morning.
After some research, I discovered they were silverfish, and I just flipped out. The first mistake I made was calling an extermination company that promised “silverfish control,” not extermination. At the time, I didn’t care. I just wanted these things out of my home. I unfortunately signed some papers and, after all was said and done, I was out $1500 and still had silverfish.
Naturally, I called and complained, but my words fell on deaf ears. Next, I went to Home Depot and bought every product that claimed to destroy silverfish. I sprayed my entire home, but I quickly learned that there's more to this process than just using pesticides or "bombs."
It’s extremely important to keep your home dry and clean, as silverfish thrive in damp environments with enough food and hiding spaces.
I did not see any real positive results until I went online and discovered Say Bye Bugs. I made my first order of two 16 oz. bottles of non-toxic silverfish spray, which appealed to me in itself. I began spraying every baseboard and, yes, I saw a few hiding behind them.
Living in South Florida, we have all types of creepy things, but none ever bothered me like these silky buggers. I sprayed underneath closets and in all my furniture.
Just a few silverfish can turn into hundreds infesting your food supplies and even clothes, so I cannot emphasize enough that you have to be diligent. You really don’t want to find their skins, or even feces in your cereals and other food containers.
There are luxury hotels, libraries, and yes, storage units where infestations have occurred. It’s usually a hush-hush matter with respect to a business, for obvious reasons. Nobody is immune from the possibility of this happening to them.

Hello Timmy,
The spray uses a highly effective water based formula (you can check Say Bye Bugs website for full ingredient list) that violently reacts with silverfish’ exoskeleton and exterminates them on contact.

How do I know if I my place has silverfish?

Isabelle, if you’d visit damp and dark areas in your home you may find some silverfish or uncover their shedding skins. You may also check for yellow stains that they leave on surfaces where they have been feeding (e.g. on books, papers, clothing, walls), or even damages to starchy materials such as wallpapers, book bindings, cardboard boxes, photos, fabrics and even food packaging. Good luck!

I found one silverfish in my home and also had a professional come in and check also spraying they found nothing. Should I leave it alone or try the Say Bye Bugs?

Hello Crystal, Say Bye Bugs is also great to have “just in case”. This way if you notice another one you can act quickly and spray around the area where you saw it or where they will most likely reside.

Can the spray be used directly on clothing in closets. Also can it be used directly on books?

Hello Fran, Say Bye Bugs spray is water based, so you can safely use it on all water safe surfaces and clothing. I would not advise spraying books with it. Let us know how it worked for you.

I’m freaking out! I found these gross little silverfish in my bathroom, and I’m totally losing it. My heart was racing just watching them crawl around. I feel like my whole flat is under attack…I have no clue what to do next. I’m so overwhelmed and scared they’re going to destroy everything! My questions is if my pets are suffering as well. Will this product hurt them if licked? And are any other bugs affected buy the product!

Hello Lynn, silverfish don’t feed on pets. Spray is completely pet safe and since it’s water based with safe ingredients it’s also not toxic if your pet happens to lick it. Spray exterminates silverfish but also works on fleas and other home insects.

Very helpful thank you! We have had these pests for almost a year trying everything we could. Not fun when you’re big and pregnant and want to sleep. I unfortunately had to bring my brand new baby home to a buggy apartment…. we moved two days ago and had to fix my entire home. Washed and dried every piece of clothing and then sprayed all surfaces with this spray. I haven’t seen a single bug since. And I’m really glad this spray is safe for my daughter and my pet
