pest control and aquaria

[anemone]

helloo!!!
IS there any way to control insects in a room where there is a (few)
fishtanks......i think those darn white-tail spiders are back.....
before anyone suggests the "step on them" method, may i add that heaps of
these pests do hide.....

What is safe?

Sorry anemone, I was just being silly, though the fish I mentioned will
take care of anything which lands on the water to a few inches above the
water (if there was no cover). I don't know what you could use for
insect control other than an electric zapper and a few sheets of sticky
paper (mouse traps). If you're keen on it, Geckos do bug control.

Thanks netmax! I was being silly too!!! Just having a bit of a joke! :-)
Do you know much about those things like pest free and pest contro? You
know, you plug them in and they are supposed to send electical pulses
throughout the room to deter pests?.....

These white tails spiders suck.....i got bitten by one last August (felt
like a mosquito) and i still have brusing from it.....

Insect control through electrical pulses (sounds fishy to me *excuse the
pun* ;~). I've never heard of this, but maybe someone else here has
some experience with it.

I believe Consumer Reports concluded they were balderdash.

I have had success with geckos (really!) when I lived in Florida.

Truly any Fogger should do the job. Just make sure the tanks are covered
and that any airsupply to the tanks are shut off. I had to bomb (fleas)
and with no side effects!

I think what the op was talking about was those ultrasonic emmiters -
whatever they're used for (fleas, ticks, spiders) the creatures tend to
evolve or in other words become resistant to the detererrant rather
quickly rendering the ultrasonic deterrent ineffective. You also will
want to make sure it wouldn't harm the fish of course. Dannyboy's
suggestion might be the most relevant even if it's the most risky at
this point, option. Other than that I hope someone else around here has
a better solution because I feel for you. I like those pictures of your
tanks by the way - your tanks are beautiful. Later!
