Silverfish Control in Erick, Oklahoma

- Shed scales in the corners and the drawers — the silvery scales they leave behind.
- Damage to the stored clothing and the documents — feeding on the natural fibers and the paper.
Why Erick homes get silverfish

The clay and sandy loam holds the moisture the pests need, the the plains, rolling hills, and river valleys offers shelter, and the humid subtropical to semi-arid climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Arkansas and Red 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.
