Heres something that was orig posted by another member, never had to try it but they say it works great. Here it is: Interesting Idea for pest control clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by Cdfortin GA (fortind89@yahoo.com) on Tue, Dec 27, 05 at 22:58 Hi all, I hope you are having a good holiday season. Today I was sifting through some European sites and came across an interesting idea. How many of you have ever had a pest infestation inside one of you vivs (ants, millipedes, slugs...)? Here's a method that might work to completely eliminate them: 1) remove all animals (that you want to survive) from the viv 2) get a big chunk of dry ice, put it in a bowl of hot water, and place the bowl in the viv 3) completely seal off the viv and wait So...all the beasties die from CO2 poisoning, without adding any harmful chemicals to the vivarium. The idea behind this method is CO2 production. There are many other ways to create the same effect, such as CO2 canisters, vinegar and baking soda, yeast and sugar... What do you all think? I'm not sure it would work with some of the peskier creatures (like cockroaches), but it's definitely something to try before you strip the entire viv down and start over again. |
