Glad to hear it worked. Do the roaches go in there and die? Or do they go in there, go back to their home and die? I guess since you did that in the viv, it's safe to use roach motels in the frog room.

Thanks for the info...

The roaches leave the motel. They are supposed to take the poison back to their nest. Speaking of which, I hope there are no roach eggs in there!

I recommend trying the dry ice/ CO2 method before going to the roach motel.

Has anyone had success with the Dry Ice method? I too am going to have to jump on the bandwagon and proclaim my roach phobia! I found a roach almost the size of my tinc and am worried.

Given that Death's Head Roaches have become established in FL you should be worried... :P

ewwwww, I found some pictures of Death's Head and got the willys just looking at them! I read they cannot climb glass, so I guess its not one of those. Either way tomorrow I am purchasing some dry ice!
