I HATE CRICKETS!. but am forced to have them until my roach colony is large enough to feed all my dragons. just the other day my cat who enjoys playing with and eating crickets dumped the cricket bin and all the crickets got loose in the house! about 500 of the darn things! i am finding them everywhere! climbing up the wall,floating in the dogs water bowl and in the toilet.in the cabinets. in the dog food bin. in my shoes well you get the idea! my husband is really ticked about that! he gets woken up by crickets climbing on him! luckaly the cats are catching them and eating them as i havent seen nearly as many in the last couple of days and i no longer put the cricket bin on a shelf!
I think I'd have to board up the house and move until they died off. Or maybe I'd have to go into the witness protection plan to escape my husband's wrath.
We have one adult female unaccounted for due to the dog. I'm praying he ate her, as gross as that is it's better than thinking she was only one day for giving birth. I'm counting on the 68* to kill her or them off quickly if she wasn't eaten.
we have escapees all the time- (mostly thanks to a beardie cage that apparently isn't fully sealed) but thanks to 2 very curious cats, we either find them really fast, or they are dead very fast.- one did get out into a car tho (no clue how THAT happened.....)
Well, the roaches are climbing or getting out somewhere. With how small the babies are you may be dropping one or 2 now and again and not know it. Some of the grocery and home improvement stores carry peanut butter scented live catch non toxic mouse traps... the roaches will find them easily. Also if you do end up with a lot of them loose (like when a box of 1K spills ) then you can use a mixture of boric acid( a common pest roach control sold at grocery and home improvement stores ) and powdered sugar....the roaches will be attracted to and eat the mixture and die in about 24hrs.
