Tamalpais Valley’s proximity to Mount Tamalpais and the coast means a unique blend of environmental factors attracts diverse pests. The cooler, damp climate combined with abundant vegetation offers ideal conditions for moisture-seeking insects and rodents to converge on residential areas, seeking both shelter and food.
Cockroaches: The fog and moisture prevalent in Tamalpais Valley draw Oriental cockroaches, which thrive in cool, damp environments like crawl spaces, basements, and under sinks. These pests actively seek decaying organic matter and standing water, often infiltrating homes through plumbing and foundation cracks.
Termites: Tamalpais Valley, like the rest of Marin County, experiences significant termite pressure. The mild, moist conditions favor both subterranean and drywood termites, which relentlessly infest structural wood. Consistent inspections help homeowners detect and eradicate these destructive pests before they compromise property integrity.
