Roachman26 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've found a couple baby lateralis OUTSIDE the bin in the last couple of days. Sides are smooth and clean. Screens are fine and intact. Complete hot glue seal around the screens. The bin is very crowded with babies, but the lid stays on unless I'm feeding them. I put a vaseline layer around the rim today. Any idea how they are getting out? Any ideas for catching up any escapees, that I might NOT have seen? Dead or alive. How about one of those glue based roach motels? Anybody else use these as a precaution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I noticed you're in SoCal. The ones you find out of your cage are probably wild ones. We have a pretty hefty population of them here in central and southern california. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are B. orientalis in some of the nearby neighborhoods, but nothing out at the ranch. These that I'm seeing are tiny little babies that are the same size as my current babies and only in my hot, humid roach room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hm. Could be escapees. hopefully the vaseline will stop them. I had a lat colony for a while, and i have them wild here too, so i could never tell if the ones i found in other rooms were mine or wild.
