Wondering how people with tortoises roaming freely in there back yards control bugs,ants,roaches,spiders,and all other unwanted pests without risk of harm to our tortoises.
Right? And people get all worried about black widows. Get bit and ooh, fever and food poisoning symptoms. Brown Recluse, your lucky if you identify what bit you for the ER.And I smash every Brown Recluse spider I find, and we have a lot of them...
This just means that the bugs weren't getting into the habitat by going through the plastic sheetingDiatomaceous earth is supposed to work pretty good, so last autumn when I was setting up my winter habitats outside on the car port, I first put down a thin layer of DE, then the plastic sheeting over it, then the substrate. I had just as many bugs in those habitats as I always did in previous years.
