They really seem to swarm haven’t had any problems with small ones maturing since weeks ago. I’ll need a bigger container soon but my heatmat cord isn’t very long . IMG_6962.jpeg IMG_6961.jpeg

I removed all the egg crates to get an idea how many I have. And the pesky one that tried to escape. IMG_7035.jpeg IMG_7034.jpeg IMG_7029.jpeg IMG_7031.jpeg

Looking nice!
Yeah then yesterday the dog got in my bin and set a few freee I caught most of them. Any tips hunting them down ? I set out egg Cartons and stuff but that only
Caught a few . I’m never leaving the lid off again. There might only be a few left hiding, if any. Tiny dog set the prisoners free. I caught 40 already. Goto catch them before they die from dehydration.

Is this enough ventilation? The lid is a pain the container came bowed a little bit so I gotta adjust it to fit . Not sure if that can be fixed . IMG_7094.jpeg

Added ventilation but sadly another death I’m not sure if it died because I removed the frass and it couldn’t flip itself over or because it was attacked and eaten. Despite grinded cat chow available. :sad: IMG_7481.jpeg IMG_7480.jpeg IMG_7479.jpeg

So I let the container air out with the lid off but a few adults got loose , 2 have been caught . I don’t understand how they got out there’s tape on the thermostat wire so they can’t climb it ? Yet 👋 they still escaped!!!! :rofl:
Looking nice!

I figured out how there escaping and caught 8 loose ones . It seems I’ll eventually need to use a larger container but should I move heatpad to the side ? IMG_8270.jpeg IMG_8269.jpeg IMG_8271.jpeg

Had a ventilation disaster, the container smelled terrible but I removed the lid before the excess humidity caused any issues . Any tips ? Or ideas 💡? Pics are a above of lid. IMG_8613.jpeg IMG_8612.jpeg

Two escaped this week I can’t figure out how there getting out the lid locks and there’s clear plastic tape around the top of the lid . What else works as a barrier I thought they can’t climb plastic or get out of this type of lid. IMG_9514.jpeg IMG_9513.jpeg IMG_9512.jpeg

Colony going strong I'm trying to kill off grain moths and flies that started in my dubia colony. This is how many babies I found and the intruder pics . 100+ babies 👶.. IMG_5434.jpeg IMG_5432.jpeg IMG_5431.jpeg IMG_5428.jpeg IMG_5427.jpeg IMG_5435.jpeg

Had like 10 adult roaches die , I had to clean them up to avoid flies from infestating. Still 15- 20 or so total flies left in trying to kill. How long until these pests are died off .
