Why Farr West homes get silverfish

The sandy and alkaline soil that surrounds Farr West is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what silverfish need to thrive. The the Wasatch Front, the Great Basin, and mountains adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Great Salt Lake and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
