Are these the same as cockroaches? So if they happen to escape can my house be infested? Thank you

They are relatively slow moving for a roach. I would recommend getting some feeding tongs if you aren't a fan of touching them.

It is not the same as cockroches so there will be no infestation. They need to be in very warm whether to breed succesfully and enthusiastically. The gestation period is roughly 30 days and birth around 25 to 30 at a time. Hope that helps... ;-)

That depends on where you live. They require a tropical climate to thrive so in a hot, humid place like Florida they might be able to reproduce in your home. Where I live in MN they probably could not, but I keep them contained to be sure. They are not able to climb glass or slick plastic so most rubbermaid-type plastic tubs work well to keep them.

Dubias are tropical species of roach native to South America. Unlike roaches in North America, they require warm temperatures to breed. It is highly unlikely that escapees would survive to adult hood and breed. They also give live birth so there is no risk of eggs being laid in your home.

They are cockroaches but they won't infest your house because they need high temperatures to live and breed and they are pretty slow moving anyways and are always hiding

They eat bugs and are otherwise harmless. Leave them alone.... or install lights and improve drainage.

Don't know for sure. We put it out about a year back and still don't have any little roaches running around. Have seen some of the very large "water bugs" but in the kitchen nothing. Great stuff. You won't regret trying it.

My son took it to the Dominican Republic with him in July. He said that he had NO bites from any bug or spider. He followed the "tent rules" by keeping it closed at all times. Unfortunately I was not able to test it out since he accidentally left it in the DR airport. As far as the bed bugs leaving the house....you need to get a GOOD exterminator to help with getting rid of these pests. In all the research that I've done, it has stated that they can live for months without feeding....they are nasty!

I don't know about the roaches, because our main insect problem was with ants, earwigs and spiders. I do know when you put it down it needs to have time to dry in order for it to have a lasting effect. We usually put it around the outside of the house and then also the inside of the house. The only time we end up with bugs is when we delay in putting it down. Been using it for 4 years now and I'm hesitant to try anything else. This works well so I'm sticking with it.

I have them in the garage and around the house. Not in the living room or bedrooms. Its a little quiet clicking noise, but not loud. I had it in the living room, but I kept focusing on it rather then the tv. Maybe because it was new. Probable could eventually tone it out. See a few mice in my detatched garage, but mainly dead ones from the poison tabs I put in there. No mice ever in house. Dont know about other pests it says it gets rid of. Not a lot of spiders everbin our house. Let me know if this helped you or not

Not to worry, the bats will find the bugs. Our bat house is mounted at the rear of our house, but you can place yours where you please!

I used this product indoors to kill cockroaches in kitchen area, which worked great! haven't seen one since I started regular spraying. Hope you find your answer soon

I think so...Mine also became hard within a couple of days but i have not seen ANY roaches running arnd the apt, approx. 1-2 weeks after using it unlike earlier when I would always find roaches in the kitchen, restroom and sometimes even in the living and bed rooms! I think I have used it twice in the last 1 year or so.

We have a beetle that swarms and is always trying to get into the house especially on the south side of our home. Yes, they do get under the siding and winter over. They will make stuff orange if you squish them and they are not Ladybugs. Please look this up. You are likely having an infestation of something called Asian Beetle. They are attracted to certain flowers and around September or so they are terrible swarms of them in the late afternoon sun. These are not a friendly beetle like the Ladybugs. I would put a photo in here if I knew how....just type in Asian Beetle and you will see, they really do look a lot like a Ladybug.

we didnt have roaches.....I once moved into an apartment that was infested! I tried the ( brown )colored glue , dabbed just a little here and there...never seen them again.! the clear glue sticks dont work

Sounds like you need a new exterminator. Anyway, I would keep the exterminator out of your apartment and use these. Keep them out of the reach of children and pets. I have a 3000 sq ft house. Put 8 in the kitchen and 4 in each of the 3 bathrooms. After about 5 days haven't seen a cockroach since. It has been several months now.

That wouldn't be a concern for me... Although I am catching more now, the traps don't catch all the ones inside my house, lol. I don't think whatever seeps out the windows can compete with the pheromones out in the great outdoors.

I would imagine so. I caught a small lizard almost immediately after putting it out. Haven't caught anything but bugs since, but I haven't seen anymore lizards near my house, and only one spider since I've set them out.

Hi. I live in the Dominican Republic and have one of these in each room of the house. It takes care of pretty much everything. I don't have roaches any longer. Its also great at getting rid of spiders. Hope this helps.

we have. we swear by these things. I think that may be why when the neighbor got an exterminator and our garage had tons of roaches asap... they never entered the house! we hardly ever get bugs. (knock on wood) I have one in each room.

I don't know what German cockroaches are, but I know my bug problem is almost non-existant. The only bugs I get are what flies in thru the door and comes in on pets. The repellants seem to stun the large water/cockroach bugs and they end up feet up on floor, those that do come in.
