"Cleaner crews"

[LCReptiles]

I have seen various websites selling cleaner crews that supposedly clean up after dead roaches and leftover hubris. I have not ordered any but I have noticed a small amount of ants in my roach bin. They don't seem to be doing the march of the ants, it is only maybe 10 of them. Will they harm the roaches in any way or is it okay to let them stay in there and enjoy themselves? It doesn't seem they can find their way back out or I'd have an entire ant army trying to get in there....

I would do away with the ants. Baby Dubias will "clean up" after adults. Eating much of what adults leave behind. Rid the colony of ants and just a line of KY on the outside of the container so any ants can't climb up and in to your colony.

Also, I put a line of silicone where the lid and brim of my container meet so nothing could squeeze in and out between the two.... Mind you I allowed that to dry before closing it up.
