DIY Cockroach Water Dispenser

Tired of having to dampen those sponges, and adding fresh potatoes for your cockroaches during these dry winter months? Well, this may be the solution for you. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Twine (We borrowed some from Colin Stoetzner’s science video art project)
• Shampoo/Mouthwash sampler bottle
• Pair of Scissors
• Cockroaches (Optional)

Simply poke a hole in the top of the bottle, thread the twine through, fill with water, and voil! You have yourself a self-feeding water bottle! The twine will continually be moist, allowing your little friends to drink during the cover of night.
