How To: Clean a Roach Colony

[JeffreH]

Hey Cam,

While lobster roaches are a bit of a pain in the rear due to their ability to climb, I've found the easiest way to clean and sort roaches from frass (and by size) is to use 5 gallon buckets that each have varying sized holes drilled into them. I believe some of the details are in this thread:

I think you'll save time and prevent having to sacrifice any casualties to the cleaning cause if you employ the bucket sorting method while you are sorting roaches out to for cleaning. Naturally this works better with non-climbers, but it can work with lobsters with a little practice (I keep the lid on the buckets after dumping roaches and frass in).
