[QUOTE="ScienceGirl, post: 253649, member: 7015"] Try Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches. They can't climb up Vaseline. Also, they don't run really fast and the adults have hard ridges on their backs, so they can't flatten down and squeeze into small cracks. Also, maybe keep your next cockroach culture in a large glass terrarium, with a heater pad underneath (if needed), and Vaseline around the rim. That should stop your problem. Maybe you didn't make the "moat" of Vaseline as long as it should have been. Do you think the cockroaches were able to reach above it and got a foothold to freedom? [/QUOTE]
