RomanBuck Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well I was packing 2 females and a male for someone and I accidently tipped the container and the male got away! If my parents find it I have to get rid of all of my roaches and beardie what can I do and what should I do? He ran right under my bed and my bed is to low that I can't see anything under there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanBuck Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think if anything it will die hopefully within a week inside my room because my mom has the AC on all of the time so its really cold and dry under my bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Put out a bunch of sticky traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 im thinking that i might put something like that right at my door so that he doesnt get out of my room. I almost lost all of my roaches do to a red runner being found dead. he was 2 feet away from my door and my mom found it. Dont want that to happen again!

wodesorel Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 See if you can install an exterior door sweep on your bedroom door. Just one more layer of protection, though it won't stop nymphs or tiny species. Used to have one on my foster kitten room to keep nosey adult paws out and skinny kittens in because there was a four inch gap at the bottom of the doors. Should work the same for roaches if you always keep the door closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You're lucky one of the lats didn't escape again. Those take forever to die from what I've seen. I did an experiment where I put some in separate containers with no food or water. Most lasted for about a month, but one lived for 46 days.

pierre72 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Put some containers around the room with food and water gel to attract it out, especially around the bed. Then check the containers regularly. Hopefully, you'll reclaim it. Hard to lose a pet, no matter what kind. Have you tried lifting the bed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 i rearranged everything in my room yesterday and i didnt find him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubia Dynasty Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Check around the hottest spot near your room, or closest place he can get some water. Give it a week he will die, you will more than likely find him dead near a wall corner or underneath something. I had a few escapes my 1st attempt too breed them, they were the small fresh born nymphs lol. I found a few but most was around the closet near the escape point, the other few i found in my bathroom which is the next room near my room. Seems like he was going for a water supply like i expected. Follow your walls at floor level, scan your room 1st, then next few near. Hope this helps bro lol.
