[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 253623, member: 6796"] They're quite capable of climbing rough surfaces and are light enough that nymphs have no problem getting past vaseline. All non-climbing species are capable of climbing non-smooth surfaces--it's like rock climbing for roaches. The heavier ones such as dubia roaches have a more difficult time because they're unable to maintain a grip due to their larger mass. Blatta lateralis are known to have the ability to infest homes, but it's not as likely for there to be an infestation if there's little moisture and food available to them after escaping. Killing the ones contained now won't do anything but prevent further escapes. You can get the same result by purchasing a new container with smooth sides. [/QUOTE]
