I've never had a problem with odor- but then again, I only keep @ 2 doz. in any container - I feed em gut load and dry dog food- I worry about pesticides on fruit and veggies (am I paranoid?) I remove dead crickets as soon as I notice any, and clean the KK's with a diluted bleach and dish soap solution, also their water and food dishes. It seems since I'm cleaning with the bleach I have fewer die on me. My partner won't have roaches :eek: in the house!

I keep crickets maybe 2 dozen at the time and if i don't clean there incloser at least every other day it smells really bad, and I can't stand it when I see one just molted, that's just nasty. I also wont have roaches in my house :embarrassed: so when summer comes again the crickets can stay on the back screened in.
I live in FL so they should do just fine out there. I also feed the gut load and dog food. and they still stink :mad:
