    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....

Any one still carrying Black Knight spray or have any left over?
 
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.

We have 9 cans of preventamite on the shelf right now. I use the preventamite for the reptile enclosures and the black knight for other things.
 
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.
