Well, I observed that while using paper towel tubes for my roaches, they seem to prefer the glue that holds the last piece of paper towel to the tube, over lettuce...

Im just curious if this glue they use is in any way a danger to them.

This seems like a stupid question but at this hour im not completely sure... :rolleyes:

Also, I had a shipping box I couldnt clear out with a few lobster roaches stuck in cracks and so i sprayed the box down with raid to make sure none got out in my house, etc, and the next day...all the roaches I sprayed were still alive. No wonder theyve been around forever :rolleyes:

If the raid didn't kill them, I'm not sure that any glue could be worse than that!

When I lived in NYC, an apt, if you tried to take away food sources (to reduce roaches), it was said that roaches will eat food, glue, soap, gross human leftover stuff-n-crud, this lengthy list of what is normally not considered "food". Places had to be spotless if you want the roaches to move over to your dirty neighbors' places.
