Once I'm done with the free pack of food that comes with these roaches what /how can I obtain more food for them? Is there a commercial food for them that I can obtain or do I recontact the seller for some?

You can either buy it from someone who makes it (usually people who sell them make food as well), or you can feed them leftover kitchen scraps and reptile food. They will literally eat just about anything. Just recently I put in an apple that was turning and the seed pulp and skin from a squash. I've always been told no meat and no dairy.

I had no problem with them. They came alive and did their work. Be warned that they won't stick around if they don't have another food source after eating all the bugs you wanted them too :)

Your house is not the optimal habitat for this species of roaches. Unless your home stays around 90 degrees, you will be fine. Also they have a specific diet that isnt found just laying around your home. The roach will eventually die. They also tend to lose energy from not being in 90 degree heat, they become very slow and easy to catch. Most literally just stop moving after awhile. If these were regular common roaches, it'll be a different story. But these are dubia roaches who thrive in a tropical environment, which your house surely is not. (I had a few escape before. They didnt survive too long. I found them later.)

I don't really know that as never had them but I think a product called Reward. I think it might be more for that. If you have a Farm Supply (FS) near by go by and ask them or a nursery, but make sure it is AQUATIC SAFE, or you can kill off all your fish and may not be able to eat them. I use this Rodeo for pond weed.

No idea. We had ours in & although we saw a reduction in roaches, it was maybe 2 weeks before they were back out & about even crawling right on the repeller.

That's about the size the ones I was dealing with were. I believe they were German roaches, if that helps. Just make sure you use the 12-month ones, the other kinds don't work. I think they probably use stronger stuff in the 12-month ones.

Didn't do anPything other than apply as directed. Great stuff. We had a moderate infestation but not now. Put it out in all the spots where we had seen roachs. Within a day or so they were dying. Within a week all the big ones had died. Then for the next week or so we say numerous little ones that had hatched. Then they started dying off. Now a couple months later it is rare to see a roach. However I do intend to re-apply in all the places I had before. I will say this, in my 73 years this is absolutely the best roach killing product I have ever used. Use it as directed and it should work for you. It did for me. David Didn't do anPything other than apply as directed. Great stuff. We had a moderate infestation but not now.

I live in Texas, I hatched mine in the house. Th trouble I had, we could not find food they could eat. Every thing was too large. I hatched many many, could find o food in the wild or in the pet stores. Better have insects on your plants or they will eat each other. No poison on plants.

I have all sorts of birds...can't remember the name of the food except it's higher-end wild bird food (black oil seed...something). I throw out cheaper seed and bread stuffs and veggies for the ground feeders. I don't need to compost. the crows eat it all (away from the feeders, of course. The crows are smart. They'll learn where their feeding spot is.)

Talstar will help. the problem you will have with the German Roachs, is the eggs.the eggs have a wax type coating on them making it very hard for Talstar to get to fetus. Talstar will kill on contact and provide good residual. you need to Fog 1st. and spray at same time. IGR would also suggest Growth inhibitor. to mix with . use a fogger with Pyrethrins . this will kill all bugs and becomes inert. with no residual after 1.5 hr. animals will have to be removed. for about 2hrs etc. air out house . you should have sprayed and everything should be dry. what State are you located in ?

Also add raw carrots for food. They don't live very long, especially if they get too hot. Many arrive already dead. They only live a few weeks anyway. I do not recommend buying 1,000 at a time. The seller refunded most of my money without any problem. I live in Texas, so the hot weather had a lot to do with it, I'm sure.

Invict Gold surely did a great job for me...just put a few dots in places that you see signs of roach activity. You will start find dead roaches as soon as the first night.

This one did not work well at all. The Combat Max Large Roach Bait (link: http://www.amazon.com/Combat-Source-Large-Child-Resistant-Stations/dp/B001ACMBJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1407113338&sr;=8-1&k;eywords=combat+max+large+roach) works GREAT. I have no idea what the difference is, but it's noticeable by what is left alive after they've been put out.

I don't have a roach problem, but did have a ant problem. What happens is they (bugs) eat this and dehyrate and die. What i did was drill a small hole in the wall and went tot he dollar store and got one of those ketchup picnic bottle plastic and put some in that and then i sprayed inside the wall though the hole i drilled.can easily be fix later, i put painters tape over the hole and will get it there until i am done. But i would say yes to your question and this is organic so should not hurt animals or people. you can also put in the cabinets way in the back. It last a long time, i bought a 5 lb box also and still have half and that was maybe a yr ago or so. I use it in my gardens, inside the house and around the house. And i can say it works very well.

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com
