Yea that's def. a weird situation. I keep my crickets in a large sweater box with a snap on lid and I have a hole cut out of the top of the lid and I put screen there for venelation and I get a few dead ones but I get 1000 every other week. I suppose they would die eventually!

I have switch to supers for the Bearded Dragons and they last sooooo much longer. I am waiting for a friend to send me some roaches to try out. I have gone from 8 Bearded Dragons to 1 so its not like I need to order a whole lot anymore.

Which type of roaches?
I personally suggest the following two species:
Turkistan Roach (Blatta lateralis) - Non Climber/Egg Layer - Stays small in size.
Fast little buggers, but not fast enough for Leopard Geckos :P
Discoids (Blaberus discoidales) - Non Climber/Live Bearer - Good for large critters or feed off the babies.
Overall slow buggers
So far every critter I have had (that eats bugs) loved these 2 species.

Hijackers!!! 
You should move or carry over the roach conversation so others seeking the same info are more likely to find it vs. finding it buried here in a thread about dieing crickets, Personally I believe it to be residual insecticide (prov-a-mite).
Why roaches? Isopods (which I'm looking for a mass distributer, aside from ordering more tree fern panels, got a few hundred hitch hikers that way, roaches too.) have calcium based shells (no more calcium supplements

Awe venus, as "perfect world" as that is, I know from experience that that search sometimes just wont give up the information your need even when you know it's there.
