It is generally recommended that S. carolina ooths be allowed to diapause. They will hatch out without diapause, but the nymph yield is usually lower and the nymphs tend to be weaker... if any hatch at all. I've bred this species a few times before and I would recommend a diapause period.
Perhaps the later ooths should be diapaused to buy some time. At least there would be a longer delay between each hatch.

That's my 2¢ for what it's worth.
