I raised my adult veiled male from blatta roaches primarily. Seller of these told me they would not reproduce...riggghhhhhht. I knew a few of these escaped sometime last year in my basement.
Found a couple and squashed them. Saw a couple more, a bit larger, and squashed them too. Found some really, really tiny baby roaches and then became concerned. Now I am occasionally finding very nice sized blatta's from time to time.
My basement is vast and I keep a few fish tanks down there. I think combined moisture, occasional bits of fish food and warmth is letting these guys get a little "too happy".
I would like to snuff out this problem and actually breed the roaches in a controlled environment(plastic tub!). Have caught a few and saved them to start a colony. Would like to catch more and kill rest.
Any solutions to this problem? Would like to do something soon. It will be "on like Donkey Kong" if my wife sees a large roach cross her path.
Thanks!
