Keeping it safe without chemicals.

Mite trap


1) Get empty film cannister.

2) Make several tiny holes on the outside.

3) Line the insides with vaseline.

4) Put in dead cricket.

5) Leave in tank corner, make sure spider can't get into it though.

Will this work with gnats too?

probably not.
Gnats are interested in damp conditions and fungus.

thanks for that info. Sandra. I always mistake them as smaller fruit flies! Gnats are those flies that like soil right? haven't had those for a while, I used to get those all the time!
