How Do Dekko Silverfish Paks Work? Dekko Silverfish Paks contain 20 percent boric acid as the active ingredient. Because silverfish eat glue and paper, they will feed on the paper packs and consume the boric acid inside. This ingredient is a poison that affects the insects' central nervous system, as well as working as an abrasive dust, which causes cuts in their exoskeleton and dries them out.

Once placed, it will only take a few days or a few weeks to achieve complete silverfish control depending on the level of infestation. Two or three packs is enough to cover up to 100 square feet of any space. Once the silverfish locate the packs, it may take a week to see visual results. Keeping the packs in these areas over time, even after the silverfish have been eliminated, will work preventively and stop future infestations from happening.
