RosenKrieger Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've got a 2.5 gallon aquarium that is half filled with soil that is safe for roaches that I'm growing some Spearmint plants in. I was thinking about putting some of my B. Orientalis nymphs in there with the plants. I was wondering if the mint or mint oils would have any negative effect on the roaches?

Allpet Roaches Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Many plants manufacture repellant chemicals versus insecticides. Try placing one in the tank and observe its behavior closely to determine if it should be removed or joined by siblings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
