What Are the Most Common Pests in San Rafael?
In the Bay Area, we see all types of pests, from mice and rats to all types of insects. At We Care Pest Solutions, we have the tools, training, and expertise to address all types of pest infestations, big or small.
Some of the most common types of pests in the San Rafael area include:
- Rodents: Mice, rats, and other rodents commonly make their way into San Rafael homes and businesses. These pests can wreak havoc on your property, causing significant structural damage and destroying furniture, wiring, walls, floors, and personal belongings. Rodents can also carry serious diseases, such as Hantavirus, which may put you, your loved ones, and others who enter your property at risk.
- Termites: San Rafael is home to several different types of termites, all of which feed on wood. This includes the wooden structures that make up building frames, wooden floorboards, wooden furniture, and more. Left untreated, a termite infestation can lead to massive destruction, ultimately costing you thousands of dollars in repairs.
- Bed Bugs: Though bed bugs are not known for carrying diseases, they do cause small, itchy bites, which can lead to significant discomfort. In addition to the physical irritation of their bites, bed bugs can also cause immense psychological distress. Making matters worse, bed bugs are extremely difficult to get rid of without the help of a professional pest control company.
- Hornets and Wasps: Although wasps and hornets are good for the environment, as they help pollinate plants, they can be dangerous to humans and pets. For people who are allergic to wasp stings, the danger is severe. Because of this, it is important that you call a professional pest control company as soon as you see signs of a wasp or hornet infestation at your home or commercial property.
- Ants: Ants are known for being tenacious pests; once they become established, they can be very difficult to eradicate. It’s important to take care of an ant infestation right away, however, as these small insects can carry bacteria and disease into your home. They can often be found in areas where food, water, or trash is plentiful, such as kitchens or commercial dumpsters.
- Cockroaches: Because they are known to carry disease, cockroaches are often seen as a sign of a less-than-spotless environment. However, these persistent insects can enter even the cleanest of homes and commercial properties—and once they’re there, it’s hard to get rid of them. If you have cockroaches in your house or business, you should schedule professional pest control services right away to protect your health, safety, and reputation.
- Fleas: Fleas are often carried into people’s homes or businesses by pets or service animals. However, these tiny insects don’t just infest animals; they can also live in clothes, sheets, blankets, mattresses, and carpets. Though fleas do not live on humans, they can and will bite people, leading to itchy bumps and rashes. Additionally, some flea species carry diseases, which can be harmful to humans and pets.
- Mosquitoes: It’s hard to enjoy your backyard or fall asleep at night when there are mosquitoes buzzing around. Not only do these insects cause itchy bites—which can become infected or lead to allergic reactions—but they also carry a variety of harmful diseases, such as Zika and West Nile Virus. While some mosquitoes are to be expected during summer months, excessive amounts may constitute an infestation.
- Spiders: Most spiders are not harmful to humans, but they can leave itchy bites. Some people are allergic to spider bites and may be at risk of infection, and some spiders—such as black widows—can potentially harm humans, especially children and older adults. If you see lots of webs or an excessive number of spiders in or around your home or commercial property, you may have a spider infestation.
At We Care Pest Solutions, we handle all types of pest infestations in San Rafael and the surrounding areas. Our services are designed to target unwanted pests while minimizing risks to people, pets, and non-targeted and environmentally beneficial organisms.

What Are the Signs of a Pest Infestation?

Understanding the Risks of DIY Pest Control
While DIY pest control methods may seem cost-effective, they often lead to more problems than solutions. Consider the potential risks:
- Ineffectiveness: Store-bought sprays and traps may not address the root cause of infestations, allowing pests to return.
- Health Hazards: Many DIY pesticides contain harmful chemicals that could pose risks to your health, pets, and the environment.
- Misidentification of Pests: Treating the wrong pest species can waste time and money while worsening the infestation.
- Structural Damage: Delays in professional intervention can allow pests like termites and rodents to cause significant property damage.
For reliable results, it’s best to contact experienced pest control professionals who use proven methods to eradicate and prevent infestations.
