Where Do Firebrats Live?

Many firebrats live outside and are found under rocks, leaf molds, or bark, in nests of mammals and birds, or in termite and ant nests. Silverfish and firebrats diets are high in protein, sugar, or starch, including cereals, moist wheat flour, starch in book bindings, and paper on which there is glue or paste.

Where are firebrats found?

The pests are primarily seen in environments that are generally dark and warmer than 90 degrees F, including near dryers, hot water heaters, steam pipes, ovens and attics. Firebrats may be found in bathtubs since they often are trapped in the tub as they seek moisture.

How do you kill firebrats?

BorActin is a dust insecticide that uses Boric Acid to control pest infestations that include firebrats, silverfish, roaches, spiders, ants, and more. This product works by enticing the insect to eat the dust. Then, when the insect goes to drink, the dust expands in the stomach, killing them.
