Customer Reviews for Dekko Silverfish Packs

I found that the silverfish were breeding in the packs. The package says good for 3 months since date of packaging. Since there is no way to know when the package was made, it seems possible the ones I got had already deteriorated on the shelf. In any event, this is not the way to get rid of an infestation.

  Expert response:
These paks do not have an expiration date and do not deteriorate. The product label says to replace the paks every 3 - 4 months from date of purchase.

I distributed 24 Dekko Packs and after a few weeks only one showed signs of having been eaten. The problem seems to be that with the silverfish having such a varied diet, and with nothing in the packs that particularly attracts them, they survive quite well on other food sources, e.g. my books. I suppose if they were in a sterile environment with the packs their only food source they might work. But without an attractant, very ineffective.

Perhaps I haven't given the packs enough time to work, but I'm still finding silverfish and the packs are totally undisturbed. Sometimes the silverfish will be very close to the packs but don't seem to touch them. I have since heard from other people that Boric Acid doesn't affect silverfish.

Still seeing silverfish on the walls and not in the packs. Can't decide if they are working or not. I distributed half of the packs around the house, in closets, bathrooms, etc.

Started using the Dekko Silverfish Packs and it's been a couple of weeks. I thought that it was working cause I didn't see any silverfish for about 4 days. But they are now back. So it looks like this product doesn't work.

Had silverfish under the kitchen cabinets. Ordered paks and put them all over. Placed maybe a dozen around the kitchen floor as instructed, plus more, in adjoining areas. Then left for a month on vacation, so they were undisturbed. Returned home and the silverfish were still there. These paks did not get rid of them. On to Plan B: getting up in the middle of the night and squishing them!

I received this product Feb. 28, 2013 and immediately scattered the packets around my kitchen tile - the only place where I see the creepy little buggers. I witnessed an interested silverfish perched on top of a packet the next day and had high hopes! But to date, I still need to be within reach of a swatter or a wet paper towel every evening. :-(

I had high hopes for these silverfish packs but after several weeks of use I still have many silverfish:( I plan on adding some other silverfish traps/powders to cut down on the silverfish issue since this product did not work.

Sad to say, these were ineffective against my springtails.
