Getting rid of German roaches in tank...

[HaleyRose]

So I have a German cockroach infestation in my dragon's tank. They've also started hanging out in my Dubia colony that I keep next to the tank.

Unfortunately, the apartments I live in have an issue with roaches:/ Nothing I've done has gotten rid of them. I was thinking about sprinkling Borax around the tank to keep them out? Or at least sprinkle it around the wall behind the tank and Dubia colony. The tank is on a stand. I'm not worried about them biting my dragon in her sleep. They are just annoying to see.

Are you able to put a lid on the dubia colony's container? Even a mesh screen would help to keep out the unwanted pests.
As for sprinkling Borax on the walls, as long as you can ensure that none of the residues could get into your beardie's tank and/or the dubia colony, I can't see why not, if it'll indeed kill the pests.

There's a lid on the colony, of course. They're just able to slip under it since they're so small. I've even taped around it with no success.

Haven't tried the Borax yet. But it's supposed to kill them within a few days if ingested.
