Calistoga’s distinct Napa Valley climate, with warm, dry summers and cooler, wetter winters, forces pests to seek shelter indoors during seasonal shifts, making homes vulnerable year-round.
Cockroaches: In Calistoga, cockroaches like Oriental and German roaches enter homes during both hot, dry summers seeking water and cooler, wet winters escaping moisture. They infiltrate through foundation cracks and drain pipes, thriving in humid kitchen and bathroom environments.
Termites: Calistoga faces a moderate to high termite risk. Both subterranean and drywood termites threaten structures. Subterranean species exploit soil moisture, while drywood termites establish colonies in exposed wood, eroding homes.
