One of the top priorities of a homeowner is to make sure that his home is kept safe from pests. You are going to try your best to make sure that your home is kept insect free, not only for protecting your huge investment, but also for making certain that the value of this valuable property is not depreciated due to a pest attack.
Appropriate pest management as well as regular inspections done by the pest-control goal long way in keeping our families , pets and ourselves safe from these pernicious pestilential pests. We make certain that our larger pooches and mogs are kept safely away from the danger zone, during the pest-control treatment day. But most of us forget those pretty goggling eyed habitants of the aquarium, mouthing away at us. We also forget any other little pet like Junior's hamster, or even Tarantella, the Tarantula, the pride and joy of the pigtailed tomboy of the family!
These finned and multi-legged friends of the family must be protected on pest control day. The most important reason to safeguard these creatures is that they are indeed a part of the family and loved by one and some (Sorry, Fluffy.). Another important reason to keep these unique pets safe is that veterinarian visits are expensive, and replacement would be a high-priced endeavor.
One has to take the statements of many pest-control enterprises and companies that the chemicals being used are totally safe for humans, and therefore safe for the little fishies in the aquarium. That is definitely not true. How can you imagine our hot blooded physiological and chemical makeup to be the same as those of these cold blooded aracnids and Pisceans? We might be able to withstand many things which these poor critturs cannot.
A dangerous cocktail of chemicals is made specifically to kill all stages of insect life. Therefore, there is no question of its being selective about keeping other cold blooded creatures safe, and selectively destroying related members of the same species and family. So how do you begin keeping your fishes safe?
First of all, make sure that the aquarium as well as the filter is properly covered with a double layer of impermeable towel or sheet. This layer has to be sealed properly to the glass, so that not even the faintest vestige of airflow enters into the aquarium via the filter, bringing the chemicals with it. Remember, the filter has to be covered really properly. But yes, do take care that you do not cause a potential fire hazard by clogging up the motor, if the power has been switched on.
You are definitely not going to keep any food, -- either yours or Tarantella's -- in the area, which is going to be treated for pest control. Everything is going to be sprayed indiscriminately, so naturally, you do not want to eat toxin flavored hamburgers, do you?
Along with moving the food from the area being treated, be sure to also remove or cover any fish or reptilian supplies used in their care. The water buckets, filter equipment, tubes, nets, and feeding utensils should be kept separate during the treatment as well to avoid contact with the air in the location being treated.
This simple guideline is going to make sure that all your pets come out safe and sound from the drastic pest-control treatment processes!
