Feel this is a dumb question that probably has a dozen easy solutions, but I’m stumped. Watched a couple of videos, but those were for catching overpopulated insects and it’s too damn cold right now any, nothing even under the rocks.
For the first time in life I have roaches I cannot beat. Always been easy, clean well, lay down boric acid, rinse and repeat when the last round of babies gets loose. Done. These fuckers have plagued me for a couple of years now.
Got a pet chameleon for my birthday. First reptile! Started in on breeding crickets in another tank, but this is also a first and will take months.
See where I’m going with this?
My desk vivarium is rocking with roly polys and I just dropped 20 crickets. I’m feeding them store-bought bug food that I mix and freeze into chunks. I’m thinking I could bait the roach traps with that, but hell, anything should do, right?
Even if/when I run out of roaches, I need a way to harvest the bugs from the desk tank.
Ideas? Something they will crawl in easily, but can’t get back out?
If they live with you for a long while already, then they do not need any of the extra food in your trap. They have plenty.
Therefore you might be able to catch a few, but you can never get rid of them with your trap.
