adwilk Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi all. I'm thinking of starting up a colony for my and thought that B. Lateralis would be a good choice. Now I've read that they are considered a pest. I live in Boston would there be a risk of infestation with this species? Is there a better choice for a fast breeding roach that won't decide to set up shop where they aren't wanted? It seems like fast breeding and infestations would go together. Thanks for your help.

Allpet Roaches Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 B. lateralis is one of the few pest species but I'm not sure that anyone has had a true infestation that wasn't quickly and easily eradicated. It isn't one of the five very common indoor pest species. What are you feeding them to? If it's something of any size you may want to go for Blaptica or Blaberus.

I currently have two small bearded dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'd suggest lobsters for now and starting a B.discoidalis or B.dubia colony now for when they get bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
