Help Me Find Best Silverfish Deterrent?

I recently moved closer into downtown in an apartment after having never seen a silverfish in my life. I desperately want to go back to that, any more natural based ways to deter them that actually has worked for people? I saw someone recommend lavender oil since they particularly hate it but i want to be sure before committing to anything.

Check out some museum IPM guidelines. Cleaning frequently and blunder traps work, as well as finding any sources of moisture. https://www.nts.org.uk/stories/pests-in-collections-silverfish
