Cockroaches in Hemet: what is different here

Hemet's warm climate means outdoor roaches are active for most of the year. Block walls, water-meter boxes, palm trees and rubbish bins shelter large populations only a short distance from the house.

Manufactured-home parks and apartment buildings add pressure. Shared walls, plumbing and utility chases let German cockroaches move between homes, and a single unit rarely stays clear alone.

In a dry valley, water is the limiting factor. Leaking taps, pet bowls and sprinklers that spray the wall draw roaches in.

The cockroaches Hemet homeowners meet

• Near San Jacinto, cockroaches turn up at the attic hatch before they turn up in the main rooms.
• American cockroach (Periplaneta americana): large and reddish brown. It comes from drains, palm trees and block walls, and can fly.
• Turkestan cockroach (Blatta lateralis): common in the Southwest, lives in cracks in walls and meter boxes, and enters homes in summer.
• Oriental cockroach: dark and slow, found in damp spots near drains and under leaking fixtures.
