Ouch, termites...

I've had problems with some little silver looking bugs I was told were
'silverfish'. They eat *anything* that is paper, including but not limited
to; boxes, notebooks, and even the paper labels on pc boards and ICs! I'd
love to know of a way to get rid of them, but since my garage is not 100%
sealed, I dunno how effective anything would be.
