Neo,

I don't know per se about roaches, but in my rat shed the rats eat wild crickets that sometimes fall into the tubs. If wild crickets haven't caused a problem.....

And boy do they love them crickets. Every thing stops for the cricket hunt. They ponce on them, sit on their hind legs, hold the cricket in they're 'hands' and devour them.
