Another day on a backward rock?
When the exterminator shows up and tells you there is no residual cure for silverfish and to buy a can of aerosol bug spray to kill them on sight, is that a cop-out or ignorance?
A quick trip to the web for research and it's clear that some strategically placed boric acid crystals should do the trick. A jaunt to the grocery store and lo and behold - Harris Famous Roach Tablets, Original Formula with Added Lure. Not only available but made just a hundred miles up the road in Jacksonville, Florida, and available for a pittance of $3.95. You can get your own at:

and eliminate your silverfish, too. They're also good for roaches and waterbugs.
It's fitting that silverfish should be plaguing me since they are one of the most primitive forms of insect on this most primitive of planets. It's not surprising the exterminator didn't know what she was talking about. Doubtless, she's a minimum wage slave trapped in a subsistence existence with no future. Or maybe I'm being too hard on her? It's hard to be objective when little, trilobite-looking bugs are racing around [and probably eating] your framed prints. The little devils love paper, book binding, paste, and various starches.
Meanwhile, we'll see if the Added Lure draws the buggers out for a quick and dessicating munch on the boric acid tablets. I'm not going to get any help from the folks at Pest Control.
