    You need to make up some sorting tubs to help get it clean.

    You will need an assortment of pails and/or tubs to do this.

    Step 1)
    Get a large Rubbermaid tub to shake all the dubia roaches off of the egg carton

    Step 2) You will need a series of 5 gallon pails or other tubs to do the sorting in. Depending on how many sizes you want to sort out, will determine how many pails/tubs you will need. Just make sure that they are all the same so they will fit together nicely. Also, when you pick out the containers that you will be using to sort in, be sure that there is a bit of a gap between each of the pails in the bottom.

    Step 3) You will need one container to be the bottom container. No holes drilled in this one

    Step 4) You will need one container to be drilled with a 1/8" drill bit. This will separate the frass from the smallest nymphs

    Step 5) You will need one container to be drilled with 3/16" drill bit. This will separate the smallest/new born nymphs from the small nymphs

    Step 6) You will need one container to be be drilled with 3/8" drill bit. This will separate the medium sized nymphs.

    .....Well that's all I go so far, I'm thinking that you will need a 1/2" drill bit, and probably something in between the 3/8" and 1/2" size, but I'm not sure.
