Why silverfish pressure is specific to Crescent Beach
Crescent Beach silverfish pressure is comparable to Beach Grove's coastal pattern but at higher intensity due to older cottage construction. 1950s-70s coastal cottages have original concrete basement floors, unsealed crawlspaces, aging plumbing with multiple decades of accumulated minor failures, and beach-cottage configurations that often include substantial unheated storage space. Coastal humidity provides constant background conditions favourable to silverfish (relative humidity 70-80% year-round). Vacation-rental owners discover heavy silverfish presence during pre-season cottage opening — properties that sit empty and unheated through winter develop substantial populations. Treatment requires both chemical control and aggressive humidity-management consultation because the coastal-climate baseline is the dominant driver.
