    Most of the pest companies don't tell you want they spray and/or don't use organic Pesticides. Their advice is to keep kids and babies away from the sprayed area which is really not what you want to hear, or practical advice unless you lock them in a cage in the middle of the room. While the later is tempted I want to try some organic pesticides. Can't find any suppliers of them in Ireland (or at least what I'm looking for), so any ideas of how I import them, or is there Govt body that deals with this?

    To be totally honest I don't know how to get rid of them or how to go about importing organic pesticide. Try a new post on getting rid of silverfish, you might be surprised, someone here might know a way to get rid of them.

    Sorry I not much help...

    Hello TempestSabre.

    There is a environmentally friendly Canadian product called Orange TKO.
    Made from orange peel, it is mainly used as a kitchen cleaner.
    Some Canadian friends of mine preach that it will kill silverfish on contact if sprayed at strong enough strength.
    Its website states it is 100% environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic.
    From the sites ordering area it seems there should be no problem in you getting your hands on it.
    The site address is http://www.tkoorange.com/index.html

    Good luck.
