## Resource

Sacramento’s got a new pest problem — the Turkestan cockroach, an invasive species thriving in warm, moist conditions and spreading fast thanks to military gear imports and booming construction. These sneaky critters hide in irrigation boxes, drains, and cracks, turning homes into prime real estate. With milder winters and more water sources, they’re now a year-round nuisance — not seasonal. Experts warn spotting one means there are likely dozens nearby. Stop them before they invade: eliminate standing water, fix leaks, and seal entry points. Your home’s defense starts with a little prep. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
