How to prevent mites , where do they come from?

I consider most blaberus and the larger hisser species as huge. I've read that the gyna species climb. What do you use to keep them in their enclosure or stop them from climbing? I might get some from Peter soon if I decide too.

Petroleum jelly might work, but you might have too get an airtight container like I did for my eurycotis decipiens. I'm not sure if gyna can climb as good as them though.

I use a layer of Petroleum jelly spread around the top rim of the cage, that keeps most climbers in while doing maintenance. I only use it on one of my cages though, I don't like the stuff. It's messy, collects dirt and fungus gnats, and overall I haven't really had to use it.
