• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have never heard of that before. It does sound interesting. I have heard of the ivermectin treatment, but heard to only have exotic vets perform that treatment for injection, dosage has to be just right. In the other article I have never heard of using frontline either! It should work, I will have to ask the vet on that one. It is nice to know there are alot of options if ever needed!! Thumbs up for the info!
 
I've used Hypoaspis miles on scavenger mites--the kind that show up when decaying matter and moist substrate mix. I had an outbreak hit my tarantula colonies. The predatory mites worked like a charm. They could reach all the little niches that the other mites could reach, except they travelled more quickly.

I got my predatory mites from Biconet.com, whom I've ordered from a few times. Excellent service both through e-mail and on the phone.
