Sealed dubia tub?

[mark83]

Ive been looking at tubs trying to find one that seals but it doesnt seem to exsist.

I live in an apt pretty much downtown in my city and we have to constantly fight off german cockroaches. While we have them under control its impossible to keep them all out. I'm afraid they would get in the tub and cause major problems. With the exterminators sprays and what not those roaches are not safe for a beardie and I certainly dont want to breed them.

Any ideas how I can keep the unwanted roaches out?

Two sided tape on the outside of the bin. And on the inside of the lid.
Hope that helps !

Good idea.. They get stuck and itd just be a matter of changing the tape when I caught one. Certainly be worth it to not have to buy feeders any more. I may try that, thanks.

I would think adding some inexpensive weatherstripping between the top of the bin and the lid would provide a sufficient seal.

Another good idea, thanks.
