They have to actually have something fit for them to lay eggs on order to reproduce, so as long as you don't leave rotten fruit or anything like that laying around they'll just die off within a few days. I feed frogs and indoor plants FFFs, and whatever escapees I may have have never been a concern of mine for that reason. If you're still concerned for some reason though, just setting a cup of plain water in the immediate vicinity will attract and drown most of the stragglers. Don't ask how I know

Thanks for the input. I did not think it was an issue but wanted to be certain. I let a whole bunch loose inside my mini greenhouse then close the cover. Most my CP's are outside now but I have my Ceph and some replanted Sarracenia's (don't ask) and germinating seeds along with my Cobra Lily and it's bowl and water with pump so if they get away they usually end up in that. Patiently waiting for my Cobra Lily to snag the flies that I keep trapping in the greenhouse. When I get one I will post video.
