    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....

Advice wanted

Hello there.

I wonder if anyone can help me on this one. Storm, my iguana lives in a converted wardrobe, (6ft*3ft*3ft) with a two front doors made of 6mm Polycarbonate. ( I will put a pic on soon) However, what with the weather in the U.K turning colder, the Viv has become a major atraction for flies, as it is the warmest place in the house. I fight a loosing battle to keep the little pains from getting into the viv, but they always seem to get in when Storm comes out to play. We keep the inside clean, and all excess food swept up daily. It seems to be the warmth they are after.

I obviously cant use Fly spray or chemicls in there as they would harm Storm, but does anyone have any advice on how to kep them out of the viv, short of never opening the door?

any thanks for any advice that you can give!

NIK.
 
i dont know if they call it something differnt in the uk, but use pest strips or fly paper, its made to hang down from a surface and when flys land on it they get stuck and you can just replace it as needed its pretty cheap . hang it in the middle of the cage where the iggy cant fuss with it.
 
I dunno if this works or not, but hanging a ziplock bag full of water over a doorframe somehow keeps flies out of the room.

You can also use flie tanks, which is just a container that hangs and inside is this mixture that the flies get stuck in and die. It's easy to clean and you can re use it.

And the flie strips, there is another type which is like a flie strip, but it's in a tube shape and you just toss it out and replace it.
