Why Wilber homes get silverfish

The setting around Wilber does most of the work. The loam and sandy soil holds the moisture the pests need, the the Great Plains and river valleys offers shelter, and the semi-arid to continental climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Platte and Missouri rivers and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
