[QUOTE="wuwu, post: 253619, member: 501"] I bought a starter colony from feedersource. i put them in a 20 gallon rubber storage container. even though they're not a climbing species, i put two layers of Vaseline just in case. today, i went to check on them. i haven't checked on them since Sunday, when they were put in the container. when i opened the lid, a small nymph fell out. i was confused and thought it was weird. then i notice another one near the handle area. then i started freaking out! turns out they can climb rough plastics AND somehow it's getting through my two layers of Vaseline?? now im scared because i don't know how many could have possibly escaped since those storage containers are not air tight. i know there are a tropical species and infestation is pretty low but who knows. maybe they've adapted. and i do live in southern california where it's pretty warm all year, especially in my garage. i'm debating whether to just spray Raid on them and cut my losses.
