water crystals?

[corrine]

The water crystals in my roach bin keep drying out. I don't think I'm making them right. I'm adding water and putting them in therer. Do they need to soak in water for a certain amount of time? Is there a ratio I should be using when making them?

You should let them soak in the water for about an hour in a sealed container. I normally make a large container of it and just scoop out of the container periodically.

We do the same as Brian - make one big container and scoop from that. They need to be replaced every few days, though (in the bin) or they get nasty and dry out.

How long can the wet ones be kept?

I take 5-6 teaspoons full of crystals in a 1 gallon milk jug and fill with water and let sit over night. They stay fresh in there if the cap is left on.
