SMARTER COCKROACH BREEDING SOLUTIONS... LESS EFFORT, SMELLS AND ESCAPEES!! Most of us start breeding cockroaches struggling to maintain a messy cleaning routine, bad smells and containing these unruly creatures. After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have developed innovative new techniques that have halved maintenance, eliminated offensive odour and increased production. These automated, low maintenance systems are tried and tested and will save you time and effort…week in, week out. Whether you want to produce for private or commercial purposes, this definitive guide sets a new benchmark for cockroach breeding for the following reasons: THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND EFFICIENT SYSTEMS... This manual pioneers new and innovative techniques found nowhere else. We have overhauled every aspect of cockroach production… container design, breeding method, making automated food and water dispensers, heating, storage, maintenance, pest management, cleaning, grading, selling, marketing…..and lots more.

Low Maintenance Cricket Breeding is finally a Reality!! The number one reason 98% of people give up breeding crickets after a few months, is they choose the wrong breeding method. Most people use conventional methods which require constant spraying, feeding and cleaning….and simple give up as it’s too much effort. To make things worse, pests take over due to lack of maintenance and the whole system crashes. These methods are better suited commercial production…not feeding one or two bearded dragons. Our low maintenance systems are very different with automated feeding and water stations; a detritus collection system that does the maintenance for you; along with a number of other innovations… The result is smarter low maintenance, consistent and productive breeding methods for both private and commercial applications. The reality is that crickets can now be bred with less time than standing in line at your pet store. Now there is a true alternative which makes cricket breeding available to everyone!! WHY OUR METHODS ARE VERY DIFFERERENT After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have pioneered revolutionary techniques that have slashed maintenance, eliminated offensive odor and doubled production. How would you like automated systems that ; • Needs no active management; • Collects waste for you; • Requires only 5 minutes maintenance every 7-10 days (less time than standing in line at the pet store) • Food/ water dispensers that attends to your insects for 14 days or more; • Systems so productive that the average family will be able to feed 4-12 bearded dragons (depending of insect feeding rate) just from their scrap vegetables; • That’s over $1400 each year completely free…. good income for the family or teach your kids to build their own business. • Best of all they are easy to build, and materials are made from recycled materials or from your hardware. Breeding your own feeder insects has never been easier with the world’s most comprehensive and well researched feeder insects guides (with hundreds of photos), complementary Skype video training along with Email support. Our methods are also available on video at a click of a button. (full details on our website www.wildlifehub.com). HOW DO OUR SYSTEMS WORK... In a nut shell, we have created two separate zones within a single container (conventional techniques require up to 6 separate containers); one high humidity area ideal for breeding; and a lower humidity area for housing and food/water. We have also developed a unique detritus collection system which collects the waste and prevents contamination of breeding substrate and food areas. This makes cleaning a breeze, eliminates odor and disease, increases egg viability and increases cricket production. We have water/food dispersers which do the feeds for you, even when your on holidays! Unlike other methods which need to be actively managed (daily spraying, and moving pinheads to new containers) our systems run themselves ?. And our cockroach breeding systems are equally unique at reducing maintenance and smells (also available on Amazon). Now you can breed both species with ease. THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDES... This manual sets the benchmark for cricket production and contains more than 164 pages (240 color photos) that cover’s every aspect of private and commercial production in detail. That’s more than twice the size of any other book on the market. We have overhauled every aspect of cricket production including; container design, breeding, food and water requirements; making food and water dispensers; heating/storage; maintenance/pest management, cleaning; grading/selling, lots and lots more. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE…Turn an Expense Into Income!! We have bred crickets and cockroaches commercially for 10 years to wildlife parks, zoos, pet stores, wildlife rescue clubs, and...

Most people have given up on breeding crickets as conventional techniques are too much hassle and effort…and cockroaches can be messy, smelly and difficult to contain. Thankfully our insect breeding systems are very different… after more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have pioneered revolutionary and unique techniques that have halved maintenance, eliminated offensive odor and doubled production. These systems can save you thousands and thousands of dollars !! WHAT OUR SYSTEMS CAN DO FOR YOU !!!! How would you like automated systems that ; •Needs no active management;•Collects waste for you;•Requires only 5 minutes maintenance every 7-10 days (less time than standing in line at the pet store)•Food/ water dispensers that attends to your insects for 14 days or more;•Systems so productive that the average family will be able to feed 4-12 bearded dragons (depending of feeding rate) just from their scrap vegetables;•That's over $1400 each year completely free….or even better this could be income!! Have you ever wondered why 95% of people succeed to breed crickets for the first couple of months, then nearly all of them have given up after just 6-12 months using conventional techniques.?? The answer is simple….breeding crickets is easy, the hard bit is continuing with a laborious maintenance schedule (daily spraying, moving crickets between containers, cleaning, feeding etc.). To complete the failure cycle, most colonies then collapse from disease and pests due to lack of maintenance…aaaahhh!! HOW DO OUR SYSTEMS WORK... Well in a nut shell, we have created two separate zones within a single container (conventional techniques require up to 6 separate containers); one high humidity area ideal for breeding; and a lower humidity area which is required for housing and food/water. We have also developed a unique detritus collection system which collects the waste and prevents contamination of breeding substrate and food areas. This makes cleaning a breeze, eliminates odours and disease, increases egg viability and significantly increases cricket production. We have water and food dispersers which do the feeds for you, even when your on holidays! Unlike conventional techniques which need to be actively managed (daily spraying, and moving pinheads to new containers) our systems run themselves ?. And our cockroach breeding systems are equally unique (available on Amazon). Don't get stuck with old techniques that are proven to be unsuccessful over the long term. You really can produce more insects with much less effort. Its time to work smarter, not harder! Introducing the most advanced, low maintenance and productive cricket and cockroach breeding systems in the world. Our cricket and cockroach breeding manuals covers both private and commercial production in detail (2 different breeding systems). HERE ARE 6 REASONS WHY THIS DEFINITIVE GUIDE SETS A NEW BENCHMARK FOR CRICKET PRODUCTION !!! (The rest are on our website) 1) THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE... This manual contains more than 165 pages (paperback version) that cover's every aspect of private and commercial cricket breeding in detail.

This manual systematically describes basic management techniques needed to ensure best practices in raising crickets for food production. These techniques are based on 20 years of practical experience in cricket farming in Thailand, and previously unpublished data and knowledge collected by the author and support team. Robust research data related to cricket farming is still lacking, but will undoubtedly increase over time. However, in the interim, the growing cricket farming sector can be enhanced through the application of known best practices and related guidance.

The second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century witnessed important changes in ecology, climate and human behaviour that favoured the development of urban pests. Most alarmingly, urban planners now face the dramatic expansion of urban sprawl, in which city suburbs are growing into the natural habitats of ticks, rodents and other pests. Also, many city managers now erroneously assume that pest-borne diseases are relics of the past. All these changes make timely a new analysis of the direct and indirect effects of present-day urban pests on health. Such an analysis should lead to the development of strategies to manage them and reduce the risk of exposure. To this end, WHO invited international experts in various fields - pests, pest-related diseases and pest management - to provide evidence on which to base policies. These experts identified the public health risk posed by various pests and appropriate measures to prevent and control them. This book presents their conclusions and formulates policy options for all levels of decision-making to manage pests and pest-related diseases in the future. [Ed.]
