Why Jackson homes get silverfish

The glacial till and rich loam that surrounds Jackson is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what silverfish need to thrive. The farmland, rolling hills, and the lake plain adds harborage, and the humid continental climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the Lake Erie, the Ohio River, and rivers see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
