Exterminate

The exterminators in the U.S.A. are usually out to kill the pest roach species.

Other than that I do not know of anybody who would purchase the pest species other than possibly a college student who may be using them in research to develop new pesticides.

There may be someone who would like them but in the U.S. there are many resources for the non pest species that will die shortly outside of a tempurature and humidity controlled cage. It may be somewhat difficult to sale them here. Maybe try in some of the other countries in the world.

Laboratories here usually purchase those species or roaches. I have a book which may list where to buy them in the United States, but i'm not sure on Mexico. Want me to check anyway?

Most of the nymphs and some small adults slip through cracks or holes easily. I know Petroleum Jelly is coated at the top of the cage to prevent roaches from climbing out, the jelly is too slippery for them to climb.

-John J Starr Jr and bugmankeith: thank you for your reply.
-What is the name of your book? Please can you check in you book for mexico dealers and buyers of roaches?
-In a non update book said about the pest roaches was reared within sweet jars.
-Maybe, actually these are rearing within big plastic totes I believe (but is better review most hints on cages for these species), but I was heared what many of these species are both very good flyers and have sharp stinks.
-However I shall start a small culture of these for study, but also I wanna know whos buying these pest species of roaches.
-Thank you, best regards.

If they fly and stink, they could be American Cockroaches, which Laboratories around here are filled with for experiments.

No stores in Mexico, but here they are anyway.
