Tiburon’s coastal location and mild, often damp climate provide ideal conditions for various pests. The blend of waterfront properties and lush vegetation attracts insects and rodents, compelling them to infiltrate residential structures.
Cockroaches: The damp conditions and abundant moisture in Tiburon attract cockroaches. They thrive in unsealed basements, crawl spaces, and utility rooms, especially Oriental cockroaches, which prefer cooler, wet environments. Homeowners often find them near drains or plumbing leaks.
Termites: Tiburon, like much of the Bay Area, faces a high risk for termites. Subterranean and dampwood termites frequently attack wooden structures, especially those with moisture exposure. Regular inspections are critical to detect early signs of infestation and prevent costly repairs.
