Alex Shaffer Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello, has anyone here tried stuffing ventilation holes with filter wool? Curious if there was any ventilation issues, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK206 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I taped stretched out t shirt material over the holes and over the top of the bin. Worked perfectly! No gnats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GelGelada Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I've had zero issues with using panty hose stretched over my buckets where I had gnat problems. I secured it with a hair tie so I could easily take it off, because tape wasn't giving me a nice enough hold. Excellent ventilation. Using other stuff was reducing my air flow too much and I was getting more mold than I am comfortable with, as I live in a place where mold takes root extremely easily, not just in my beetle housing/substrates. If you don't want to pay a lot for panty hose, many costume/fabric stores will sell a similar, thin gossamer fabric that should work in the same way. Good luck!

Alex Shaffer Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thank you, i will take this into consideration! Since posting I've eliminated the population down to almost nothing. Will tinker around to see if i can't completely have them gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
