My roaches are all dieing from the Heat. I guess I'll restart my colony in the fall and set up air conditioning for next summer..../cry
Whats the temp in your roach bin? Is is 110 in the bin? where is the bin stored? Do you keep the proper humidity on them? Have you cleaned the tank out recently? Did you use any chemicals? Have you used a new food source?PaganDragons":1stc449l said:I did not change anything but the temps have been 110+ for about a week.

I did clean the tank out, could that have killed them? I keep the bin in the garage. I didnt check the temps in the bin. I use water crystals. Same food as I have been using..

More than likely it was because you kept them in your garage. That is like a trunk of a car. If it is 110 outside you can add a few degrees and thats what the garage is. So you basically cooked your roaches. Next time you setup a colony have them in a room out of the way somewere or a closet, but either way should be in your house where it is temperature controled.
