    Heating an AP enclosure?

    Hiya - I finally got around to setting up Harold's AP (Animal Plastics) enclosure. He was previously in a basic tank which he was starting to outgrow. I have placed his 100 Watt Ceramic Heater (CHE) on the dark side of the tank where Harold likes to sleep. This has an 8.5 inch circle screen (You...

    Best pre made indoor RF enclosure?

    Hi! I actually just got around to setting mine up today. I am having issues with the heating now... it's not supplying enough heat. I am just about to head out and get some more supplies. I am not handy either lol. If I can get the heat at the right point, it will make a fine enclosure. I also...

    Best pre made indoor RF enclosure?

    I am still waiting for mine to be built and shipped. It takes several weeks for it to be done and shipped. From what I have seen in my research, it's one of the best ways to go for pre-built. You can customize it in regards to fixture mounting inside the enclosure, top circular screened holes...

    Fire ants, Ant bait and birds....

    Thank you! I feel so awful. I hope it didn't hurt any of them. I kept going out to try to scare them, but they had already eaten most of the bait in all of the areas. ;(

    Fire ants, Ant bait and birds....

    Has anyone had a problem with laying down ant bait and birds eating it? I know this can't be good. I just baited about 7 fire ant hills today. I just looked outside and about 50 birds (crows) were eating the bait..... Is this going to kill them? Has anyone else had this issue before?

    Darn fire ants!!

    How do you put it in the enclosure? Mason Jar with holes in the top of the lid? It's a bait, right? So they will seek it out?

    Darn fire ants!!

    What product do you use to bait inside the pen? I have searched high and low for red ant bait traps. The granules didn't work for me. I was hoping there was some (protein) bait traps I could place in the mason jars. Thanks =)

    Darn fire ants!!

    Oh yeah, They are big mean red fire ants. I've tried bating them and nothing is working. If I used the granules on this particular side of the enclosure, after they die can I just flush the area several times? I could probably even dig out the grass and add new grass (We have a lot from building...

    Darn fire ants!!

    I just can't shake them!! I have literally tried everything!!! I thought they moved once, but they've only covered the previous area and the new area. Boric acid didn't kill them, DE didn't kill them, Bait in a mason jar with holes didn't kill them. These mother summa's are not moving!!!! Is it...
