Your office
Forterra Southlake.
The Southlake office is where Forterra started in 2021 and it has not moved, so a property is serviced by the building that sets the standards rather than one following them at a distance. W-2 technicians, every visit logged, and the ★ 5.0 rating across 2,080 Google reviews sits on this office's own profile.

On the ground in Southlake
Storage rooms and humidity that lingers.
Bigger Southlake homes give silverfish more of what they need without anything being wrong. Storage rooms, attic space above garages, and cupboards that hold paper and books are rarely disturbed, and any room that holds humidity, a bathroom that is used daily with poor extraction, keeps the conditions steady through the year.
They damage paper and fabric slowly rather than doing anything dramatic, so the aim is removing the conditions rather than repeating treatments. We treat harborage and then talk about extraction, about lifting stored boxes off floors and about which cupboards are holding more moisture than anyone realises. On newer construction those changes usually hold.

"I have tried several companies in the past, but I was not entirely satisfied. However, my friend recommended forterra, and in particular, Drake. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything and performed his duties with great care and professionalism. He advised me to wait three weeks for the results, but within just one week, I could already see a remarkable improvement. Thank you very much, Drake, and to the entire team."

"Great company and service. Just started with them and I have seen immediate results. Gabrael was my technician and he took his time to understand all my concerns and did a very thorough job! I highly recommend them (and Gabrael!)."
Why the humidity is the problem
Dry out the house, and silverfish can't live in it.
Nothing has to be wrong with a Southlake house for silverfish to do well in it. Undisturbed storage and steady humidity are enough, and both come with the size of the property.
Stage 01
01
Find moisture
A silverfish population always maps to a moisture source.
Silverfish need humidity to survive, so a population always maps to a moisture source, a slow plumbing leak, an overflowing gutter wetting a wall, an unvented bathroom, a damp garage corner. The inspection finds that map.
Stage 02
02
Treat harborage
Crack-and-crevice treatment where they actually hide.
Targeted treatment goes into the cracks, voids and storage areas where silverfish hide by day, bathroom plumbing penetrations, closet corners, attic edges, rather than a surface spray they will simply avoid.
Stage 03
03
Starve them
Dry house, sealed storage, closed perimeter. Starvation diet.
You get specific fixes, the leak to repair, the gutter to clear, the storage to move into sealed bins. A dry house with paper in plastic is a house silverfish starve in, and the quarterly visits keep the perimeter closed.
Where silverfish actually get in
Silverfish follow humidity. The house leaks it here.
Every silverfish entry doubles as a humidity leak. Sealing these six points dries the routes and cuts the population at the same time.
● Inspected entry point
▲ Above grade Climbers and high entries
▼ Below grade Ground-level entries
- 01
Weep holes
Ground-moisture access at mulch level; screened so the wall breathes without boarders.
- 02
Utility penetrations
Plumbing penetrations lead to the damp wall voids silverfish colonize around bathrooms.
- 03
HVAC penetrations
Condensate humidity makes the mechanical wall the wettest exterior face of the house.
- 04
Dryer vent
Warm, moist and directly into the laundry, prime silverfish habitat when the damper fails.
- 05
Soffit gaps
Attic access matters because unsealed attics swing humid; storage boxes do the rest.
- 06
Gable vents
Torn screens let humid air and silverfish trade places seasonally; re-screened fine.

The silverfish visit
Forterra's silverfish process, step by step.
We treat harborage, then talk about extraction, lifting stored boxes off floors, and which cupboards hold more moisture than anyone realises. On newer construction those changes hold.
- 01
Transparent quote
The quote comes first, on screen in about a minute or read out over the phone, and it holds. Silverfish work rides the quarterly plan, so you see the monthly number, not an estimate range.
- 02
First-visit inspection
Bathrooms, closets, attic, garage and pantry get traced on the first visit, following the humidity that supports the population and the storage that feeds it.
- 03
Treat and advise
Crack-and-crevice treatment at the harborage, and a written list of the moisture and storage fixes that make it permanent.
- 04
Guaranteed results
Fresh damage or live sightings between visits get a no-charge follow-up. The plan's money-back guarantee holds while the humidity fixes do their slower work.
Frequently asked
Questions in Southlake, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
No. No bites, no disease, no structural damage. They eat paper, book bindings and starched fabric, so on a Southlake property the loss is usually to stored books, documents or linens rather than to the house.
They got in and could not climb out. Smooth sides make a bath a trap. It also means the humidity in that bathroom suits them, which on a large house often points at extraction that is undersized for the room.
Humidity and starch. Storage rooms, attic space above a garage, and cupboards on exterior walls hold the moisture, and stored paper and cardboard provide the food. Both are usually easy to change on a newer property.
To a degree. Better extraction, boxes off the floor and into sealed containers, and humidity control do most of it. Treatment clears the existing population quicker, and on sound newer construction the combination holds well.
Inside the quarterly plan at $49 a month with initial service from $149. Where a storage room or attic space is the real source we will say what to change rather than returning to treat it every quarter.
