@jamest0o0 is there anything you use or recommend for clean up crews in roach colonies?Yup dermestid. They'll attack molted roaches too. I wouldn't want them in my bins personally
Mine girl grew into them and i am now free of crickets!Got Dubias for my girl and absolutely no interest. ugh she is a picky one.
Only if you allow them to get a large numbers and no other food. I would not have a colony with out them and I would never get rid of them. They eat the dead roaches which reduces moisture which causes colony collapse. If they get too hungry they will eat the same food as the roaches. They are not inclined to eat anything alive unless starving. Every major roach colony website will tell you to leave them in.Yup dermestid. They'll attack molted roaches too.

One warning for everyone. Not joking wear a mask and gloves when dealing with roaches. About 1/3 of the population can develop allergies.

Your paranoid bro, I have them in every bin yes the beetles fly and end up in my bioactive enclosure but they don’t last long. The only negative thing I have noticed is that they will eat freshly hatched crickets.I also would not want them to make it to my bioactive enclosures. I just don't trust them. Maybe I'm paranoid.
