December 24, 200520 yr comment_81079 Soon its going to be summer and after the shower or two we've had the flys will be a buzzing. What (if any) fly sprays/dispensers it is safe to use in the same general house area as the SW tank? Are the pyrethrum based ones safe? :-? Report
December 24, 200520 yr comment_81080 No, not if you get any in the tank. Pyrethroids are toxic to fish. Report

December 24, 200520 yr comment_81085 you could try using that professional stuff that you can get. The add is on tv where the wife hires the pest controlers and spray the outside of the house and eventually the husband does it himself. I can't remember the brand name but if you were to spray the door frames and window frames (outside of course) then that might be enough to keep flys at bay. Its worth a try Cheers Report
December 24, 200520 yr comment_81087 solution: put ya tank in your wall then spray til your hearts content i HATE flys so it works out well! Report

December 24, 200520 yr comment_81110 We use a pestrol spray can in the kitchen for the last two years. Tank was in the lounge. Use the repallent can not the kill can. If you are worried run heaps of carbon. Report
