barriers

It might be the exact same chemical just listed with the correct details, 'teflon paint' may not be the correct name. The people who package it don't seem to want to share the details of what it is exactly. It's not water soluble, it smells like the base is ammonia.

In other words, are leetle roaches could get tainted! :o

 
I used vasoline when I first got my hissers. Had problems with it dripping down to the bottom and not protecting. I got the bug barrier and used it with my lobsters. It did pretty well until I got too much humidity and the bug barrier got covered in crap. By this time I've lost the bottle and had to grab vasoline and transfer the lobsters. Once again I'm having problems with the vasoline falling off the sides. How do you apply the olive oil? Does vegitable oil work as well? Thanks

 
I started to use a motorbike teflon-based lubricant (Arexxon's Chain Wax) more than one year ago... it seems to work fine and doesn't drip down...

It doesn't work well with species like Panchlora nivea and Drymaplaneta's babies... :(

 
Personally, I ordered 1000 lobster roaches and 2oz of the Roach Barrier from Aaron Pauling at www.aaronpauling.com

(he's a great guy to deal with by the way)

The barrier he sold me works great. I haven't had a single lobster roach escape yet and I dont even keep a lid on the bin.

My problem is getting them to breed more quickly... guess I have to take that to a different thread.

 
Since olive oil seems to have a cultish following, having many who swear by it, I was wondering if other vegetable or seed based oils would provide the same results. Peanut, Canola, straight-up vegetable oil, etc. ? Any experience with oils other than olive out there?

 
Hi!

I use olive oil and sunflower seeds oil for P. nivea and G. portentosa and they works very well.

I have a question about teflon paint: is it toxic?

Best regards,

Javier

From what I understand it isn't when it's all dried. I haven't ever used it but I think it's the same concept as silicon caulk. It gives off acetic acid when curing but once it's all polymerised it's saftly nonreactive, the silicon that is. Would I be right in my assumption?
