Hi all,
I have a question about silverfish, which have probably been addressed in
the past, but I would like your personal advice.
Our district is opening up a new elementary school, and the media center
will be getting mostly new books. However, there is one elementary school
that will be converting to a middle school, and they have offered to give us
a significant number of their books. This would help to flesh out the
collection. BUT, of course, their library is significantly infested with
silverfish. I know bringing silverfish infested books to a new facility is
a dumb idea, and we will do without their books if there is no way to get
rid of them, but is there a way to get rid of silverfish so that all those
books don't end up in the dump? Is there a way to spray or quarantine a box
to get rid of bugs before it gets shipped to the new school? If you don't
see bugs in a book, could there still be eggs in it?
Thanks for your advice, it will help a lot!
Nicole Roohi
