i am ordering a few new climbing species (Neostylopyga rhombifolia,Panchlora nivea and Princisia vanwaerebecki in particular) and i was wondering if anyone knows about the efficacy of bug stop with these species. the woman i am buying them from uses vaseline, so she wasn't sure about bug stop for them, but i really like bug stop since it's dry and lasts so long and i already have a ton of containers painted with it lying around. anyway she told me that bug stop works for the popular feeders, but not necessarily for the more exotic ones. have any of you ever contained any of these species with bug stop?

It works pretty good for hissers, but make sure the container is slick to begin with or they will walk right over it

well with the way i have it now, the strip of bug stop is about as thick as my hissers are long and i haven't had any issues with the normal hissers, but i was worried about the tiger hissers

Tigers should be about like portentosa, but the ones that are hard to keep in are the elliptorhina chopardi, they are very small and light when they are newborn and they are hard to stop.
