Mothballs.  Silverfish hate mothballs.  Since silverfish eat strange
things (the backing on carpets and glue in book-bindings), you may
have to put the mothballs in some strange places.  (When we had
silverfish, I put mothballs in the bookshelves behind the books, 
and in cabinets.)  Just make sure pets and children can't get to
the mothballs, as they're poisonous.
