They are most commonly found in the areas of town that have been developed for a very long time. About the only area of Fresno where we found these insects in the 1970รข€™s was downtown. Since then they have migrated out into the residential areas to the north and south of the downtown area. Now they may be found almost anywhere except in the newly developed areas.
Fortunately, American Roaches are among the easiest to control (most of the time). Routine pest control services coupled with good sanitation practices will contain all but the most persistent American Roach problems.
