Cockroaches in northern Nevada
Cockroaches survive northern Nevada's dry climate by living where it's warm and moist, kitchens, bathrooms, behind appliances, and in drains. German roaches spread quickly indoors and are common in multi-unit housing and restaurants, while Oriental roaches come up through drains and cluster in basements and crawl spaces. A few roaches can become an infestation in weeks, so speed and thoroughness matter.
Why it matters
Cockroaches contaminate food and surfaces, spread bacteria, and are a leading trigger for asthma and allergies, a real health concern, especially for kids.
