Heat and drought were stressing cockroaches, leading to more infestations in South Placer County towns to Sacramento. Those in the pest control industry saw this trend begin months ago with new clients needing help with the insects. Urban areas seem to be harder hit than rural locales.
One Granite Bay resident noted that his backyard appeared as if it were moving at night from all of the “creepy crawlies.”
