Somehow egg crates don't seem the optimal medium for keeping these "tropical" roaches as they await feeding to my reptile. Is there a better way?

I keep them in a plastic shoe box with holes in the lid, I use the egg crate, & I also use the clear liquid gel to keep water in there for them. I crush up dog food and parrot pellets to feed them and they do fine for months.

I've done quite a bit of research on the best chow for dubias and everywhere I look I read the same thing: Do not buy chicken feed that is medicated. Did you end up mixing it into your super worm bedding? How did that work out?

I always take mine right out of the shipping container and put them into a large (Gallon+) plastic jar with a lid modified with a piece of screen in the cut out plastic top. They can breath but not escape. Then I put a couple of carrots into the jar along with oat flakes (3 or 4 cups). They lasted last year until I had fed them all to the blue birds ... a couple of months+. This is a great supplier ... or has been for us.

I live in Texas, I hatched mine in the house. Th trouble I had, we could not find food they could eat. Every thing was too large. I hatched many many, could find o food in the wild or in the pet stores. Better have insects on your plants or they will eat each other. No poison on plants.

I would use a mixture of vermiculite and pete moss (about 2/3 to 1/3 ratio), thoroughly mixed and moistened, but wring out the excess water, and partially bury the clutch of eggs in the mixture, leaving the tops of the eggs exposed to the air. Do not let the bedding dry out, remoisten if necessary. Also put the water in the bottom of the incubator according to the Reptibator instructions. To keep your Reptibator clean, put the bedding and eggs in an open tupperware container, in the incubator...no lid. This should work great.

When baiting try to put bait where roaches are. 1 pea size droplet every 5 inches along cabinets and also treat hinge area. Take off all light and electrical socket covers and treat there as well. Pull out fridge and bait there as well. Treat under sink also German roach love water/humidity areas. I use this product daily in my pest control company works everytime. email if you need more assistance.

Well since it's poison I would avoid placing bait stations if your pet is apt to play or chew it. There is no odor so I don't know if a pet would be attracted to them. They have self adhesive on back so you can place them on sides of cabinets, walls etc in places where pets cannot reach but roaches crawl. I would probably do that if you are concerned.

Invict Gold surely did a great job for me...just put a few dots in places that you see signs of roach activity. You will start find dead roaches as soon as the first night.

By all means yes... just give them the right environment. Avoid the anaerobic/stinky/mushy environment and they'll produce. I purchased a second worm farm and scooped some from the first and that one is fully populated.

Yes! if you mean as soon as theyre out the packaging? The bait houses come out of a heavy duty factory zip-lock bag. Immediately ready for use. However, do not leave zip lock open and let bait houses expose to excessive air PRIOR to time of desired use. BAIt houses have a strong peanut butter-like scent that I am assuming is what initially attracts the roaches.

You have more than enough. Just apply the gel bait in dots in places where the roaches most frequent. Keep applying for a few days and the results will come naturally. Have faith and hope you have a successful roach termination journey!

You could place one in there, again I would remove the Styrofoam backing and use some sort of under the tank heating device. Anoles do best in small groups with plenty of room, I agree with Jordan awesome guy and suggest a 10 gallon tank for your lizard.

Auhhhh not sure how me purchasing Lavender oil for making hair creams has anything to do with cockroaches...lol...how ever, the best thing to use is Boric Acid, must keep it away from pets, however if you sprinkle some down under kitchen sink and where ever they are nesting, all it will take is one roach that will carry this powder on its little legs to the nest and will kill all, your problems should be solved. Have a great week-end, and God Bless.

You can just keep them in your refrigerator. When you're ready take them out and wait. I have done this before and have some in my fridge now from last year's hatch.

No, I just set it down in strategic places. Did you just scatter them around? Place them on every corner in your kitchen && restroom. Roaches need food and water (like every living thing) so those are the 2 most important places.I put some like every cabinet too. Almost wasted the whole bag and I combined these traps with Roach Tablets, you can also buy them on Amazon.

That's about the size the ones I was dealing with were. I believe they were German roaches, if that helps. Just make sure you use the 12-month ones, the other kinds don't work. I think they probably use stronger stuff in the 12-month ones.
