They are detritivores, and feed on waste, so if you cut back on feedings and make sure to be diligent in cleaning up extra food and keep your substate vacuumed reguarly, the population should remain in check.

my real question is this is there any way of removing them for good. another question is how do they breed? knowing breeding habits will help me eradicate them.
