Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Black Knight = Death
donot use black knight spray........on or with the reptiles in the cage, tank, housing etc, it will kill your mites along with your reptiles, it also kills the ozone layer and i am sure we are all aware of that so please use wisely
i have edited this post the original was not intended to be a direct attack on Blackknight, i just wanted to put out the word on the risk of death if not used correctly
Thanks Tim

NOT
We've used it for years and we have never had an animal die as a result of using Black Knight. Also, the Fort Worth Zoo has used it for many years with no adverse effects. Have you had animals die from it?

I had a rough green snake go into convulsions and die when I used it. Sprayed the enclosure and it killed my snake within 15 minutes. I now use Pro-Vent a Mite for any new arrivals.

I've used it for about a year now with no adverse affects. I do admit from time to time I think that it may be dangerous. I may start using Provent-A-Mite. I was just given a few bottles of Reptile Relief at the FIRE show. I know a few people who have had nothing but good things to say about it.

A *VERY* light spraying of black knight does the job, it would seem to me that those who had animals die from it used *WAY* too much!

Scott- I think so also. It only takes a couple of short "puff puffs" to do the job. Also, it is possible that some animals are more sensitive to the chemicals than others. I have always heard that rainbow boas are pretty sensitive and you have to be very careful when using products such as Black Knight or others on them and use them very sparingly.

"it also kills the ozone layer illegal and deadly for reptiles"
I guess I'm too tired this afternoon, but I have no earthly idea what that means. What evidence is there that the ozone layer is modified in any way by Black Knight? In what way is it illegal? Does the illegality refer to the supposed depletion of ozone, or to the supposed killing of reptiles?

Darin,
I have not had enough coffee to really answer this, so bear with me as I will probably get it wrong!
I think the person making this claim might be saying that there are certain chemicals in the spray that contribute to the ozone's weakening or something like that....
I don't re-call anyone being prosecuted and or sent to Jail or fined for using Black Knight illegally, but... oh heck, I give up!
I don't know, sorry Darin. I should appologize for trying to answer this........... now to make a pot of coffee!

Well, here is a link for a site created by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where Black Knight is listed as one of the recommended aerosols for roach control. If it were a product that contained anything illegal, I highly doubt a state-sponsored university would be advocating its use.
Also, there appears to be very little actual evidence (lots of supposition and lectern thumping, but no evidence) that humanity is doing ANYTHING AT ALL to cause detecable depletion of the ozone layer. For this individual to suggest that it is being damaged by people spraying their tanks with Black Knight borders on the absolute ludicrous!
A little bit of punctuation would have helped in my comprehension of what he was trying to say . . .but just barely. Oh, well!
