Natural repellent to place behind the front door
To make this repellent, you will need two main ingredients: vodka and cloves. The vodka will act as a solvent to extract the repellent properties of the cloves. Start by filling a small container, such as a glass or a cup, with vodka. Make sure to fill it enough to completely cover the cloves.
Next, take a few cloves and dip them in the vodka. Use enough cloves to completely cover the surface of the vodka. Let the cloves steep in the vodka for 24-48 hours. During this time, the vodka will extract the essential oils from the cloves, creating a repellent solution.

After the infusion time, you can place the repellent solution near doors and windows, where silverfish tend to enter. If you prefer a more targeted application, you can use a funnel to pour the solution into a small spray bottle. Spray or drop a few drops of the solution in strategic places, such as windowsills, cracks, or other areas where silverfish might find an entry point.
