Theses persistent little scavengers are responsible for the majority of calls we receive on any given day year-
Turkestan Cockroach (Blatta lateralis)
Introduced into California from returning troops, this cockroach has emerged as the number one nuisance pest in our area over the last few years. Relatively new to the United States, this outdoor dweller has become well established in Visalia, Tulare County and throughout California. It can lay up to 24 eggs a year. This is a staggering number considering our native outdoor roaches only lay 3 – 9 eggs a year.

We have seen them so bad in homes, that they literally fall on your head as you open and walk through the front door. No need to worry however, even in the worst roach infestations, Pro-
