So the worlds slowest growing dubia are doing good. However my giant nivea need a more serviceable home. Now for all you flying roach fans, how to you keep them in the bin with the lid off?

Ive heard 2-3" line of olive oil, ive heard same line of vaseline. The clear packing tape trick doesnt work with them and im trying to find a solution. I want to move them to a 20 gallon tote so i can change the food and hope catch a few for the cham. Right now they are in a clear cereal dispenser with a pop lid just big enough to get my hand into.
 
I have regular Nivea in a big Sterlite container. I use Vaseline to keep them from escaping out from under the lid. But when I open the lid to change their food, they don't fly around at all - they all scurry under the logs or into the substrate. I've only had them about a week though - but so far, so good! Fingers crossed.
