AQUA PETS AQUARIUM 88 Bronte Road Bondi Junction NSW ph (02) 93894380 Pictures were sourced from Takashi Amano Sticky Traps for Cockroaches - Pesticide Free Aquarium owners are often faced with problems on how to erradicate crawling insects from around the fish tanks. Cockroaches seem to love the moist, dark, warm, buzzing environment provided by filters, lights and cabintes and fish owners can't spray around the fish tank with commonly used insect killers. We have a very good solution for you   Cockroach sticky traps are small, easily used devices with an adhesive base and attractant lure, designed to trap and retain crawling insects. Sticky traps can help the professional pest control operator work in the most effective and efficient way. They also help meet the ever increasing expectations of customers for higher standards, and the requirement to use less insecticide in the environment. These thin, flexible pads are coated on one side with cockroach adhesive and covered with a siliconised quick release paper, enabling easy replacement of spent pads in detector stations.  The attractant tablets last up to 8 weeks after opening, and contain both a food attractant and a mimic of the cockroach aggregation pheromone which entices cockroaches into the trap. This pheromone is usually found on the cockroach cuticle and in droppings, and gathers cockroaches together during periods of rest. It is believed to act as a kind of "communal sign- post" on their return from feeding. Packet of 10 is $20, we also sell them individually for $2.50 each.
