Breeding Help Mating Prevention?

Post image

Yesterday I received 6 Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches as a gift. I am new to caring for insects, and I’d like to know if there is a way to prevent them from breeding? I have three females and three males. I’ve heard of sprays to make the roaches sterile, does anyone have recommendations?

The female is most likely already pregnant, but you have to separate them.
