Why Grenada homes get silverfish

The sandy loam and alluvial silt that surrounds Grenada is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what silverfish need to thrive. The the Delta, Coastal Plain, and pine forests adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Mississippi River, the Gulf, and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
