=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Black Knight spray
- Thread starter nicolai
- Start date
Proventamite
Black Knight was originally developed for the airline industry. Iyt was intended to spray passengers and baggage to kill any pests they might be inadvertently carrying. If I remember correctly and injunction was pu on the makers of it to stop marketing it as for reptiles because it wasnt designed for that purpose. If you do find any it is probably at least a couple years old if not more. Not good to use old chemicals as a rule. Go with proventamite which cane be purchased here http://pro-products.com . It was designed and intended to be used with reptiles and so far is the only product of its kind with FDA approval for that very purpose.

I think they were trying to stop the Mediterranean fruit fly and other such critters from hitching rides on the airlines. I am down to my last two can of Black Knight; I would also like to get more. I don’t use it on my reptiles but I do spray it around the house (not in my snake room) when I see an excess number of bugs running around. I figure it’s about the safest bug spray one can use around herps since a lot of people used it on herps for a long time and they did spray it on the airlines when the people were still aboard, could be wrong.
Use as directed
Proventamite was tested and designed and approved for use around reptiles. Used as directed it is safe for reptiles and can even be used in the cages. Go with Proventamite used as directed there iss no safer easier way to rid yourself of unwanted invertebrates. Go to http://pro-products.com and tell him the good looking white boy with glasses from California sent you and talk to Bob Pound.

I use the black knight for my garage and other areas, i have never found anything as effective and long lasting an black knight for wiping out all insect in a large area. I see Mexico still has it but not sure of the legalities of buying it from there. i am going to have to check on that. Maybe i will post down in the legal forum to see if anyone that frequents that forums knows about the legal status of having it shipped into the USA.
You have never used Proventamite
Try it there was a lawsuit a while back and Black knight had to stop marketing it for use on reptiles. You havent used Proventamite use it and you will see. As for outside and in the gardens and such there are many pyrethrin based sprays you can use. I do not sell Proventamite nor do I receive any compensation from them. Use it and you will see.

it kills any invertebrates
It kills any invertebrates so dont use it around bugs or spiders. It also lasts up to 30 days after initial use the Proventamite that is. Try it like you did with Black Knight on the outside areas and such.
