Large roaches love mulch and mulch like substances low to the ground. if you
can get under the mulch layer to the bottom and place Niban granules and a fine
layer of the proper sized (microns)silica gel dust I think you will see great
results. As long as the collection insects are in cages this should work. I
would make sure you evaluate the use of Niban ,,the amorous silica gel dust,
and the procedure with the zoo vets and keepers to be sure everyone approves of
the treatment plan. JTV

Tom Parker I sometimes use a fipronil gel bait, and have used a granular boric
acid bait in the past. Here's what happened when I googled baygon: " Baygon
Bait<http://www.pestproducts.com/baygonbait.htm> is no longer available.
Baygon was great insect bait to use for indoor cricket infestation and to help
eliminate large roaches."

Has anyone else dealt with the challenge of controlling roaches in areas that
happen to display live insects? The keepers are understandably concerned that
not-yet-dead roaches will get into the insect exhibits and bring the
insecticide/diotomaceous earth/ boric acid/ et cetera (depending on what I end
up using) with them.
It is an area with other live animal exhibits, so sources of food and water are
abundant, as well as nice warm harborages.
I don't think there is an easy answer, but I'd love to hear if anyone else has
faced this issue, and what they did.
Thanks!
