Around San Marino
The name goes back to James DeBarth Shorb, who named his ranch after his grandfather’s plantation in Maryland. Henry E. Huntington bought the Shorb rancho in 1903 and built his mansion on it. The site is now The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens on Oxford Rd. When the city incorporated in 1913, George Smith Patton was its first mayor.
San Marino sits in the San Rafael Hills and is divided into seven zones by minimum lot size. The smallest lots are about 4,500 square feet, and many average over 30,000. Most of its homes were built between 1920 and 1950, and the city has strict design review and zoning laws. Lacy Park is on Virginia Rd, El Molino Viejo on Old Mill Rd, and City Hall on Huntington Dr.
What makes San Marino different
San Marino is a low-density city of large single-family lots with decades-old landscaping, and that planting is the problem: established trees, hedging and fruit give roof rats a continuous path from the property line to the eaves. Bigger houses also mean longer rooflines and more vents, valleys and penetrations that each have to be closed.

Amazing job by Anthony and Brian with Twin Home Experts. They were very professional throughout the job and were able to identify the point of entry quickly of how rats were getting into our attic. This company offers smoke testing for vents on your roof, which no other company I have found offers. Through the smoke testing it was found that there was an opening in a sewer pipe in the wall that was allowing rats to go through the city sewer pipes and get into the attic. It was amazing that Anthony and Brian were able to open up the wall at the exact spot there was an opening in the pipe. Very impressive. It was money well spent as no more rats have been seen since! Watch the twins YouTube videos as well. Their videos are very educational and taught us a lot!
We kept getting rats in our kitchen and dining area - always late at night. We'd wake up to droppings behind the stove and under the sink. Three different pest control companies told us the problem was coming from outside, and they kept focusing on our roof and vents. After spending a small fortune, the issue only got worse. Then we called Twin Home Experts. They performed a full inspection using high-definition cameras and ran a smoke test through our plumbing lines. Turns out, the real issue was a breach in the vent pipe hidden behind our kitchen cabinets. We actually saw smoke leaking out through the cabinet base. No one else even considered the plumbing. They sealed off the damaged vent, cleaned the entire area, and set up high-quality traps. They also sanitized everything and followed up twice to make sure the issue was completely resolved. We haven't had a single rat sighting since.
After a year of dealing with rodents in our historic home and hiring multiple companies who couldn't solve the problem, we finally found Twin Home Experts and they were a game changer. They took the time to inspect every inch of the house, found hidden entry points others missed, and sealed everything up properly. They also did a full attic restoration, removing contaminated insulation, sanitizing, and installing new insulation. They used cameras and UV tracking to confirm the rodents were gone. It's been months with no signs of activity. If you have a tough rodent issue especially in an older home Twin Home Experts is the only company you need to call!
We recently purchased a beautifully remodeled home in the Hollywood Hills, only to discover a hidden nightmare: rats. Within a week of moving in, we noticed scratching noises in the walls and attic, droppings in the garage, and a foul odor coming from the guest bathroom. We brought in a pest control company that said it was “normal for hillside homes” and tossed in some bait and traps. Weeks later, the smell worsened, and one night, we actually saw a rat run across our living room floor. That's when we found Twin Home Experts. They used a camera to inspect behind the walls, above the ceiling, and even into the crawlspace. They found chewed insulation, droppings near an old sealed-off vent shaft, and nesting material behind the built-in fireplace. But the real eye-opener was their smoke test - the rats had been accessing the house through cracked sub-slab drain lines that the renovation had completely overlooked. They did a full structural seal-out, worked with a plumber to repair the broken pipe, and installed monitoring devices in the attic. We've now been rodent-free for months.
We'd been hearing scratching and the occasional thump above the drop ceiling at our small legal office in Sherman Oaks for weeks. At first, we thought it might be birds, but the noise kept happening at night. We had two different pest control companies come out, both of which just set traps and told us to “wait it out.” Nothing changed. Then a friend recommended Twin Home Experts. They used a camera to actually see into the ceiling voids and found evidence of rats nesting near a recessed light fixture. Then they ran smoke testing through one of the plumbing cleanouts, and smoke leaked out near the breakroom wall, right where the plumbing ran up into the ceiling. Rats were using a pipe chase to get into our ceiling. The technicians showed us everything live on camera, sealed everything up properly, replaced the light trim the rats had damaged and cleaned up the shredded insulation. We haven't heard a single noise since.
We operate a luxury beachfront hotel in Malibu, and we started noticing signs of a rodent issue when several of our high-end guest rooms and kitchens began reporting strange odors, gnawed packaging, and droppings. We called in a pest control company, but the problem persisted. That's when we reached out to Twin Home Experts. They performed a full camera inspection, including a deep dive into the property's plumbing, utility lines, and attic areas. Rats had been gaining access through gaps in the stormwater drain system, then traveling through concealed plumbing lines that connected several rooms across the hotel. They ran a smoke test and confirmed it. Twin Home Experts sealed off all access points, repaired the drainage gaps, and replaced damaged pipe sections. Their team worked discreetly, understanding the need to minimize disruption to our guests. Since their intervention, we've had zero rodent sightings or complaints.
I manage a large medical office building in Los Angeles, and a few months ago, we started noticing a strange smell in some of our exam rooms and hallways. Soon after, staff began spotting droppings near the break room, and patients reported hearing scratching sounds in the walls. With our tenants being medical professionals, we had to act quickly. I called Twin Home Experts after reading about their advanced camera and smoke testing processes. Their team arrived the same day. Using a high-definition camera, they found evidence of rat activity behind the walls and ceiling tiles of several units, especially near the plumbing and HVAC systems. The smoke test was what shocked me - it poured out of multiple seams, including the main plumbing line and HVAC ducts. The rats had been infiltrating through cracked pipes that ran through the subfloor and up into the walls. They sealed the compromised pipes, repaired cracks in the infrastructure, sanitized the affected areas and provided a detailed report with before-and-after footage. The building has been completely rodent-free since.
I run a contemporary art gallery in Downtown Los Angeles, and we recently faced a serious rodent issue that threatened both the integrity of our artwork and our reputation. We noticed unusual smells and small signs of damage around some of our sculptures and paintings, and staff spotted droppings near the storage areas. We tried a couple of pest control services, but none of them took the time to properly investigate. That's when I called Twin Home Experts. Within hours their camera inspection identified several entry points around the walls and floors. Their smoke test revealed hidden pathways behind the drywall and beneath the floorboards, letting rodents travel throughout the building. They sealed the entry points, repaired cracks in the foundation, installed rodent-proof barriers and sanitized the affected spaces to ensure no contamination of our pieces. Since their intervention, we've had no further rodent activity.
