Will smaller bugs released from bug containers cause an infestation?

[JustintheDragonTamer]

I bought Dubia Roaches from my local pet store, and the last time I opened the container (BugCo.) about 10 tiny flying bugs flew out. I'm unsure if these are baby dubia roaches or some other bug. Should I be worried about this causing an infestation in my house?

Those are the clean up crew the bug breeders use. As far as an infestation it would depend on if the climate where you live is suitable for them. I'm not sure what type of insect they are or the climate they come from.
Dubias are tropical. They need higher humidity to breed.

Thanks for the reply. What exactly is clean up crew?

They would be dermestid beetles, were they tiny black bugs ? The larval stage are the fuzzy tiny caterpillars that are put in with dubias, crickets, etc to eat the frass and shed . Dermestid beetles are also used by museums and taxidermists to strip all tissue from bones.
They can eat carpeting, clothing and possibly cereals + other food. I've had them loose in my house but they never reproduced or were seen once they escaped.

I see, so if they're the same bugs you're talking about, I should have nothing to worry about? (they were indeed tiny and black)

Hopefully . I've never heard of them going through a breeding cycle to infest a house and cause any damage.

I freaked out yesterday about what I believe are gnats, I didn't have a clean up crew but know as someone who had dubias escape once, these aren't the typical bugs.
You should be a o k.
