so firstly is it like fast running mites running all over the tank? then just change the substrate and clean the tank and know that it bas because it was too wet substrate (maybe plus too little air circulationa nd too high temperature) so next time let the terraium go totally or almost totally dry for a while before you water the substrate again
Or, the worse possibility, the mites make a layer over the animals, especially at joints - these are obnoxious. i will tell you what helped my Scolopendras with this problem. so you take the animals to an empty 1gallon container with damp tissue paper on bottom and crush a clove of garlic and put it is a little box (like a bottle cap) and cover by fabric or mesh so that the animals ant touch it . put in the container with the animals and close that tightly for half an hour to fumigate this way. (of course they dont suffocate, no need to be afraid, but they will not like the smell, to be sure) if the animals get really mad, lets make it 15-20 minutes. the mites go off. then take the roaches out and maybe wipe with soft brush (like small paintbrush) and then you must flush each roach with water and put them all in clean terrarium with new substrate. repeat treatment the next day, then put them under watch. this is transferred from garden soil or wild insects, so dont put soil from outside as the substrate and if you feed garden plants, pick them somewhere where it is sunny and dry, never from wet part of garden. hope it helps. never use parasitic spray for treating parasites on invertebrate animals - for obvious reason
to other posters - these roaches dont infest your house actually, they are diffreent species

Put tobacco leaves in their cage. This actually works for any pet. Especially rabbits, though not related to cockroaches. Just put them under their cage, but in your case, inside the cage.

basically so as that they are in a place to assert "Madagascar" persistently back. circulate forward.....say it......Madagascar. would not it sound cool? So after a on a similar time as whilst their friends hear it......they sound very uber important. the only different animal which could lead on them to sound a million/2 as important may be the Zimbabwian crustacean. And nicely.......they're troublesome to feed. *wink*

We let our cockroaches go swimming to try to clear them up. If that does not work you may need more drastic measures.
