Wasco, briefly
Wasco began as a Santa Fe Railroad loading station in 1897. Kern Council of Governments describes it as mainly agricultural, with cotton, onions, potatoes and almonds, and famous for its roses. Each September the town hosts a Rose Festival.
The Census Bureau's 2025 population figure is 26,525.
What that means for pests
Farmland at the edge of town means plenty of outdoor insects close to houses. Ants are a typical one, since UC IPM says they come in to escape dry, hot weather. Turkestan roaches live in water meter boxes and leaf litter, and UC IPM says they have been displacing the oriental cockroach in the Central Valley.
Black widows favor sheds, wood stacks and garages, which farm-town lots have plenty of. Wasps, too, build under eaves and in sheds through the season.
Wasco is in the Kern Mosquito and Vector Control District area, so mosquito and roof rat problems can go directly to the district at (661) 589-2744.
