Hi all

Got myself a house bunny who's generally out and about 18 hours a day.

I also have a problem with silverfish. I only see one a week, maybe two, and squirt them with RAID.

I'd like to sort this out though, as it's clear we have a silverfish infestation as they're the only bug I see, and I find them regularly.

I've dotted about lavender, lemons, citrus... but that only discourages the little fellas from visiting those areas, it doesn't kill them.

The RAID does - and mostly it's either kitchen, bathroom or behind books on the bookshelf, so doesn't affect bunny... but it does affect me when I turn the light on and see one slithering across the floor.

My question is; is there a product I can use to clear these varmints which is bunny safe?

Is that even a possibility? If I were to go postal (and I am thinking about it, as I hate bugs) and get in a pest control firm, how would that work with the bunny?
