Really simple, and easy way to clean your roach Bins.

i burn them....simple as that.

just throw them in the fire pit.

and also, not sure what temps you keep your lats EN, but mine hatch every 2 to 3 weeks. i have a very well established colony.

i keep mine at around 90 degrees.

I keep mine in an incubator so I've experimented a bit with temps. At 80 it's between 5 and 6 weeks, 85 around 4 weeks, and 90 at around 3 weeks. That was all in a hovobator though so I'm not sure how that translates into bottom of the roach bin times but it should be pretty close.

i just find it sad...i try and show an easy way to clean a roach bin, that doesnt require much time, effort and you dont even have to take the roaches out. Yet people still ridicule you....

look i said in my first post. not everyone will agree. doesnt mean you need to litter my thread up with you peadly nonsense.

this is how to clean a roach bin...not raise them..not breed them...but CLEAN the bin. yes mine wasnt that dirty. i told you all that. yes i like clean roach bins. yes i clean clean more that i NEED too.

but this is how I do it. just throwing an idea out there. dang!

EN, you seem sure of yourself, please go make your own thread and show them your bins.

nice tutorial, cody
didn't think about vacuuming before, so this was interesting to read.

I used to do this with my wet/dry shop vac and it began to stink really bad. Just remember if you do this clean the vaccuum receptacle right away.

 

[codykrr]

yeah, thats why i like bagless too, its easy to clean and the hose comes right off.

Thanks for thread


Don't think I'll be keeping roaches again anytime soon but just want to say I love the cardboard between eggcrates idea as well.

great way of keeping them and thanks for the reply on my thread! they are in an identical setup to yours but i just feed plenty of fleshy fruits daily and mist daily, i can never find water crystals cheap, they always go for at least 6 pound for a tiny jar of ready made. I know that garden centers sell it cheaper but the nearest one to us is quite a trek, they do fine without anyway. Im sure putting feeders like roaches, crix or mealies in any section wont raise any eyebrows, but when the millipedes and pacman frogs enter the wrong section, heads roll

Couldn't you simply throw all the eggcrates in another container and pour off the frass? Thats what I usually do...but I also go through and pick all the nymphs out since I keep my colony on the small side and high recruitment is necessary.

What sort of filter bag do you have? I have terrible roach allergies and I'd just be really worried about getting micro-fine particles into the air that way.

 

[codykrr]

its just a cheap micro fiber filter for my bagless vacuum.

I put the bottum garbage stuff in a small KK an just shake it into a bucket all the poop an stuff falls through an even the smallest dubia roaches stay in the kk while the stuff falls through took me 3 min to clean my 10gal cage.
