Breeding environment

According to the living habits of cockroaches, it is recommended to breed cockroaches on a large scale by mixing them with earthworms and raising them in a special cockroach breeding room.

Cockroaches hide during the day and come out at night. They like to move around in warm and humid environments, and the temperature should generally be controlled at 28-33℃.

Things to pay attention to in a cockroach breeding room include:

① Pay attention to the sealing degree of the special breeding room

② Build moisturizing and heat-insulating materials around the special breeding room (it is recommended to place some grass and foam)

③Doors and windows of the special breeding room should not be made of wood

④ A walkway needs to be cleared inside the breeding room, with cockroaches’ habitats on both sides

⑤ Control the density of indoor cockroaches. As the space is small, cockroaches are prone to die and their reproductive capacity will also be reduced.

Feeding and management

The food for cockroaches is relatively simple. Vegetables, fruits, wooden products, etc. are all their food. Since cockroaches are active at night, they only need to be fed around 6 pm every day. The amount of food depends on their appetite.

If you want to improve the breeding efficiency of cockroaches, let me tell you a better feeding feed: corn meal (large amount), salt, stone powder, fish meal, lard, and brown sugar.

When raising fish, you should pay attention to: maintaining a constant temperature (28-33℃), environmental humidity (70%), raising them in a dark place, providing sufficient food, adequate water, a quiet environment, safe diet, and preventing their natural enemies.

Cockroach breeding has a low threshold, small investment, short cycle, large market demand and considerable returns.

4. How to breed cockroaches?

Cockroaches like to live in warm, humid places with abundant food and many crevices.

Cockroaches are omnivorous insects that eat a wide variety of foods, including bread, rice, cakes, meat and vegetable cooked food, fruits and beverages, etc. They especially like to eat fragrant, sweet and oily flour-based foods. Cockroaches have a habit of eating fats and oils. Among various vegetable oils, sesame oil is the most attractive to them, so some places call them "oil thieves."

Among sugars, brown sugar and maltose are the most attractive to them. However, different species of cockroaches have different eating habits. For example, German cockroaches like to eat fermented food and drinks, American cockroaches like to eat rotten organic matter, and Australian cockroaches mainly eat plant-based food.

Water is more important to the survival of cockroaches than food. Cockroaches can tolerate hunger but not thirst.
