jude Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I know this has been asked several times before but it says the search function has been disabled so I'm not sure how to find the old posts. I've just bought a robocan because we are already having problems with flies. It's a synthetic pyrethran and it says it is toxic to aquatic organisms. Does anyone else have one in the same room as a tank and have there been any problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Can't answer your question sorry jude but the search function does still work. it searches the FNZAS site through google, instead of the normal 'forum' way.

jn Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 We use regular flysprays in other rooms.. I just close the door to the room before we spray. I've just bought some insecticidal sticker things that go on the windows...hopefully this will mean I have to spray less but apparently won't eradicate the fly problem completely. Maybe you coud do the stickers in your rooms with tanks and leave the robocan for other parts of the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskas Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 if i use flyspray i put a towel or 2 over the tank, it seems to work. i dont spray directly over the tank though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have always sprayed fly spray around the room, just not directly over the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
