Paks DEK1002 (Pack of 2)

Works well. I put the little packets behind my books in my study and in my filing cabinets. There is no smell or mess. They keep silverfish away.You can tell they are working as you may see a tiny nibble on the edges of them, and find a few dead silverfish from time to time, but no live ones!

Seems to be working…we’ve gone from seeing 2 or 3 per week to haven’t seen one in 2 weeks. Not a lot of sightings, but my goal is zero and it seems like we’re quickly moving in that direction!Would certainly purchase again and am pleased with this product!

They only last about 2-3 months before you’ll need to replace them and the silverfish start appearing again. It’s not completely fool proof. I put about 6 in each cabinet and 4 in each drawer. I definitely found LESS silverfish but occasionally still see some

I don't understand all of these people expecting all silverfish to instantly die the second you place one of these packets in wherever area. It takes some time...it just does. I like these things because they are small, can be placed(or thrown) pretty much anywhere. With a few months I wasn't seeing ANY silverfish. Being a collector, I have a lot of old cardboard boxes for my retro gaming stuff, and have thrown in a few of these packets to be safe. Other areas include the bathroom, garage, laundry room, etc.

This review is for Dekko Silverfish Paks DEK1002 (Pack of 2). I was running into an issue with silverfish. I was killing about one a day, including babies, in my bathroom or the bedroom/closet of the next room over. So, I am thinking that I must have some level of infestation of them since this more than that occasional one that I find. I read multiple articles about how to get rid of silverfish. These Dekko Silverfish Paks came up a couple of times as a top recommendation in these articles. There are multiple packs in each box. They are just thin, maybe 1/8th of an inch thick, and about 3" x 2". Silverish eat paper, wool, and a lot of other fabrics. Years ago, I once found a pair of wool slacks with random holes in them from silverfish. So, these Silverfish Paks are made of poison infused paper. During quick visual inspections, I haven't noticed any holes eaten out of them, but I haven't touched them since placing them around the bathroom and closet. I have seen silverfish less frequently; however, I do still see them. So, it is difficult to tell if these Silverfish Paks are working or not.

I've placed packs around where I've seen Silverfish - near the bathroom sink drain and near the tub drain - and also placed some around the tub, around the sink and under the sink just in case they make it past the others. Well, after a couple months of setting them out, these "traps" have not caught a single Silverfish.One day I spotted a Silverfish in the bathroom and went after it. It actually ran under the "trap" ti hide from me. Another night I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and saw one laying next to the "trap" in the tub. I fanned it to see if it would move, and it didn't. Since this was the closest thing to evidence I had seen of this thing actually working. I left the Silverfish laying there to see if this "trap" had actually worked only to wake up later that morning and see the Silverfish gone.This product is a waste of money. Don't believe the lies.

While I occasionally still spot some silverfish around the Dekko paks, they do seem to be effective. There's been about an 80% reduction in their presence compared to before I started using them.

These are super easy to toss behind books on my book self, up on closet shelves, or wherever I see a silverfish. They are dry little packets that are easy to hide. They are quite pricey but I have been using them for many years and I am satisfied with the result. I started writing dates on them so when I come across old ones I know which ones to throw out.
