Problem with roaches nesting in the cage

[coderedfield47]

Our house isn't infested but they're nesting in the guinea pigs pen pretty bad. Originally brought in from outsider's trash, they're nested in the fleece mat itself and I need advice for getting rid of them and keeping them gone.

The best thing is to throw away any materials that might have eggs laid in them. Clean blankets and newly bought hay would be best. Where are you keeping the pen? Storing the food and offering it in clean ceramic or metal bowl that gets cleaned and changed twice a day is a good idea. Poops need to be removed so that there is no build up, so twice a day at least. Good luck, I hope you can get rid of the cockroaches

You may need to bring your piggies indoors and keep them in a C&C pen or a MidWest pen with a Correx or tarpaulin floor.

I advise getting rid of the fleece mat altogether and buying some F10 disinfectant which you can buy from places like Amazon. They’ll be instructions on how to make it up. I hope you can get rid of the roaches x
