Get some real New Orleans roaches and let then run through a clear tube. These suckers are huge, put a tube of live roaches on each wall and a few dead ones beside the fake roaches.
The only way I can think of to stop someone from grabbing at things is to have a live actor in the room. People act more civil when they are geing watched.
True. Id love to see there faces. If you put anything like, liquid soap on them once people touched them they would probably let go. Just make sure it doesnt smell like soap.
I might try JB Weld, that sounds like a decent idea.. although it might get a little expensive, we're talking about 200+ cockroaches here. We've trying stapling them to the walls but that never works, and screwing them in would rip the roaches in half as well as ruining the effect. A screw is a bit more obvious than a staple.

You could try having an actor hide in the corner dressed all in black. Whenever anyone goes to touch a cockroach, the actor could scream his head off. You might have to clean some mess up off the floor.............
I would just buy a louf bell or buzzer and hook up some sort of sensor. I honestly think a low voltage shock would get the idea accross. Allens halloween site has plans for a shock device but I can give you some too. It wont cause any damage to them. It is something like 300 volts(very low amperage) and a tazer is up to 500,000 volts and that still only temporaroly puts the person down. A dag security coller could easily be modified. It would be fun too, watching people get zapped.
Dear, how about putting a little food coloring in the vaseline or something that will color their hands on the bugs, then when they come out of the haunt, they'll have colored hands. Then you could have a Beetlejuice type person waiting when they come out, bugging them for bugs ('hey, man, where's the bug? i know you got bugs') - maybe incorporate that into when they walk past people in line waiting to go in.
Lol, all great ideas but I think that it would be easier to just accept the loss of roaches rather than constantly have to deal with customers complaining about getting shocked or getting color on their hands. People try and blame us when they do something to get their clothes dirty inside our haunt, I'd hate to have to hear them if their hands AND clothes got stained by cockroaches.
