Turkestan Cockroaches in California

Cockroaches are invading California homes—especially the Turkestan cockroach, an invasive species from Afghanistan that thrives in warm, damp spots. With rainy springs, sightings are up, and these critters are masters of hiding, darting out when lights flicker and often scrambling toward the tallest thing nearby—like you. They love sprinklers, leaks, and clutter. Combat them by sealing cracks, clearing debris, trimming grass, laying gravel barriers, fixing leaks, and storing food tightly. This isn’t just a bug problem—it’s a reminder of how deeply connected our ecosystems are, and how we must adapt to coexist—or keep them out.
