Wow, that was really helpful! Thanks for the time you spent writing this! I'll make sure to use these tips!!

...and that seems to work fine. I have 2 cricket enclosures but only use 1 at a time, the other empty enclosure is to be cleaned with water+bleach to kill off any invisible nasty fungi. When the 1st enclosure is nearly out of crickets I go buy a new batch and put those in the 2nd (cleaned)...

] Send a message to @boina She knows her stuff and can provide more evidence based on science about these barks being harmless to tarantulas. If you search for bark, pine bark, bark toxic or related terms in the forum, you'll find a lot of threads about it too. I can understand how keepers...

...more than a experiment. I would maybe consider using a sling from a recent breeding to test...I am just so tired of cork bark being so expensive here and us having to look for alternatives the whole time. I am considering using driftwood in place of the bark chips then. (Not cleaned with bleach)

What sort of bleach? Chlorine -based or H2O2?

A 10% bleach solution will kill any mites/most insects lurking about and it isn't going to make the room stink of bleach for more than a day

Bombs can kill Ts, bleach won’t kill your woman’s nose or her life

The bug bomb won't do anything that bleach won't do. And it'll do it much less effectively than directly applied bleach. And those chemicals can't be any good for the baby...

...or the connection with them at the time. Now because of mine, im thinking twice because I don't want harm to come to them. I got cleaner with bleach, my girl is pregnant and says its gonna stink. I say a bug bomb will stink as well. Not that I'm supportive of the plan, but that is the idea...

Bleach and elbow grease. Better than a bug bomb.

...and beautiful, whenever I walk into the room they all turn and watch me. Does anyone have any cool stories about their jumpers? Suggestions? Thanks!! PS: I wanted to go with an anime theme with names; the clarus is Kira (death note), elegans is C2 (code geass), and sexpunctatus is Rukia...

You could evaporate alcohol, or if you have a place to burn stuff you can burn them, maybe you could even spray bleach on them that would probably work too, just try something that will most likely kill them all, I would go with fire.

One day I decided to hold an emperor scorpion at a pet store and then i bought one, and then I got a giant African flat rock scorpion and just kept getting more scorpions, i only got into keeping other bugs like tarantulas and centipedes after keeping several scorpions and wanted to try...

That's awesome it's one of my favorites too!! (My all time favorite is bleach) Although I did not get my obsession from any anime lol more like I was afraid and yet I was curious about them and realised how sadly misunderstood they were spiders are truly amazing creatures!

The "washing" protocol that I follow is: remove ALL traces of the old dirt, soak the plant in cool water for 10 minutes, make a 10% bleach mixtures (1 part bleach, 9 parts water), and soak for another 10 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly

To be fair, Eco Earth is a perfectly acceptable substrate. OTOH, heat lamps, heat mats, heat rocks, cleaning with bleach every week, enclosures with screen or mesh...all inappropriate.

Wow ! That's... that's a new low ! Cleaning with bleach ? That's one way to risk your T's health. It's unfortunate that most pet shop staff are clueless. At least, some admit to not knowing much. Inverts carry salmonella ? Really ? Could've sworn reptiles had that risk :rolleyes:

Nope, I was serious. Reviving an 11 years old thread and wait an answer from the OPs (original posters) is like to wait to win a lottery. Did you touch any enclosure after the infected one? If so, you will need to clean those too. Don't get paranoid now with all your enclosures, only check...

...any ts come or go for 60 days or more. I have a giant collection and breeding stock. It is not possible to take every enclosure and clean with bleach and dry in sun. What I have done is completely replace enclosures and rehousing everything I possibly can. I spent 100 bucks at Walmart on new...

Please this thead is 11years old... Don't revive old threads, even less one with 11years 😂 Regarding your problem, clean the enclosure with bleach, rinse, let it dry at sun, repeat and rinse very well.
