Roseville High School’s population continues to deal with cockroaches in older and newer buildings on campus. Students and staff cite seeing cockroaches in lights, classrooms and bathrooms.

According to former maintenance worker Jake Marshall, the cockroaches are a city issue and Roseville High School isn’t the only one being impacted.

“The sewage is overrun. Pest control has got more jobs than they can handle,” Marshall said. “I’ve seen roaches here. We do have maintenance come and do pest control regularly to keep them out.”

According to physical education teacher Cindy Simon, she has seen an abundance cockroaches on campus, and claims that the students help in killing them.

“In the girls locker room we have sighted several cockroaches, running up the aisles, running up the shower area, running out of my office,” Simon said. “I would say that there is a large number of roaches since I have been teaching here for five years and I’ve never seen them until this year.

According to junior Nate Lemos he has no idea how the amount of roaches will be able to be cleared out.

I wouldn’t say that there’s an infestation but I would say that there’s a amount of roaches,” Lemos said.
