Imperial Beach's mild, humid coastal climate creates ideal conditions for pests that thrive in moisture, while its proximity to the ocean and bay areas provides unique challenges. These environmental factors encourage year-round pest activity, particularly for those seeking damp harborage.
Cockroaches: The constant humidity in Imperial Beach attracts moisture-loving cockroaches, such as German and Oriental species, into homes and businesses. They congregate in damp basements, under sinks, and within wall voids, seeking consistent moisture.
Termites: Imperial Beach experiences a high risk of termite infestations, with both subterranean and dampwood termites thriving in the moist environment. These wood-destroying insects inflict significant structural damage, often unnoticed until extensive.
