Why silverfish pressure is specific to Fleetwood
Fleetwood silverfish pressure has trended upward over the past decade as original 1980s-90s plumbing infrastructure has aged into typical-failure-mode territory. Original water-supply lines develop slow leaks at fixture connections (sinks, toilets, dishwashers); original drain stacks develop minor seepage at joint compounds; original bathroom-fan ducting develops gaps and reduced airflow. Each is a small failure but a 30-year-old detached home will often have 2-5 of them simultaneously by the time it's three decades old. The combined moisture loading creates conditions silverfish exploit. Treatment is twofold: silverfish-specific chemical control plus identification of plumbing failures contributing to the moisture problem. Many Fleetwood callouts result in a home-improvement scope rather than a pest-treatment-only outcome.
