You can find these for sale online, just make you buy a reptile-appropriate one and respect the dilution ratio. Also treat all the wooden branches and other decorations from the cage and discard the substrate. Do not allow people, pets, or children into the treatment area until the spray has dried. Be sure to read the product label for full application instructions to get rid of ants with Taurus SC.

Figure 3. Armascirus apophysis Chen & Jin n. sp., female holotype: A, palp; B, chelicerae; C, subcapitulum. In this work, we add two species new to science for the genus Armascirus, A. apophysis Chen & Jin n. sp. from Bomi County, Linzhi City, Tibet Autonomous Region and A. yulongensis Chen & Jin n. sp. from Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, P. R. China. Material and methods fl. oz. (35 mL)/ gal. of water – 0.09% a.i. – may be used for active infestations or severe termite pressure. There is no requirement to remove animals, water or decoration from the enclosure - They will reach every nook and cranny, eating eggs, nymphs and adults Figure 4.

The Natural Solution to Reptile Mites

To mix Taurus SC, fill a 1-gallon sprayer one fourth (1/4) to one third (1/3) full of water while wearing your PPE. Then, add 0.4 to 0.8 ounces of Taurus to the sprayer. Place the cap on the sprayer and shake to mix. Finish filling the sprayer with water to make 1 gallon of finished spray solution. Replace the sprayer lid and shake well to finish combining. Figure 6.

Ok I think I stumbled accross something completely by accident recently - and after speaking to a select few friends about it, it's time to "go public" with it, as it were, in the hope that someone can shed more light. And yes, there will be a plug, but I wouldn't bother with this post if I didn't truly believe in the final product. Here are 7 good reasons why you should ditch the chemicals and use Taurrus predators instead. 1. Mites can cause serious health problems

Den Heyer (1978) erected genus Armascirus with the type Armascirus huyssteeni Den Heyer, 1978, which belongs to the subfamily Cunaxinae Den Heyer, 1978. Currently, this subfamily contains seven genera ( Cunaxa Von Heyden, 1826, Armascirus Den Heyer, 1978, Dactyloscirus Berlese, 1916, Rubroscirus Den Heyer, 1979, Riscus Den Heyer, 2006, Allocunaxa Den Heyer & Castro, 2008, Cuaxatricha Castro & Den Heyer, 2008) and 179 known species in the world, of which Armascirus contains 49 species (Skvarla et al. 2014; Kalúz et al. 2014; Rocha et al. 2017; Kalúz & Starý 2018; Skvarla & Dowling 2019; Wurlitzer et al. 2020). However, there are only three species of the genus recorded in China, A. taurus (Kramer, 1881) (Tseng 1980; Liang 1983; Bu & Li 1987; Hu 1997; Lin & Zhang 2000; Lin & Zhang 2010), A. bison (Berlese, 1888) (Hu 1997; Lin & Zhang 2010) and A. jini Liu, Yi & Guo, 2015 (Liu et al. 2015).

Taurus SC is labeled for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. The only exception is for indoor spot treatments inside wall voids for termites. Den Heyer, J. & Castro, T.M.M.G. 2008. A new Neotropical genus of the family Cunaxidae (Acari: Prostigmata: Bdelloidea). Zootaxa, 1843: 35-46. doi:10.11646/zootaxa.1843.1.3 Termite Control – See general directions above. See our article How to Do a Termite Treatment for more details. How to Use Taurus SC for Ant Control: Severe cases result in infection with other diseases along with weight loss or death. Unsanitary conditions in the pet store or their enclosure is usually the root cause. Diagnosis of protozoa in snakes

Taurus SC is not for Indoor use. The only permitted use indoors is for active ant or termite infestations in wall voids only.

Start by spraying a barrier around the foundation of the building using a coarse spray. While walking around the perimeter, apply a continual band that extends up the foundation wall 1 foot, and out 1 foot from the foundation onto the ground. In California, the barrier spray can only be applied 6 inches up and 6 inches out from where the ground meets the foundation. Den Heyer, J. 2006. Riscus, a new cunaxid genus from Thailand (Acari: Actinedida: Cunaxidae). Acarologia, 46(3-4): 195-201. For those that suffocate, the keeper has achieved an aim. However, there will always be a number that either detach and run, or weren't on the animal in the first place. these Mites are hiding out in the Vivarium, just waiting for the inhabitant to return. Not to mention the hundreds of eggs and nymphs which don't go near the animal. The main use for Taurus SC is for protection against subterranean termite infestations. To accomplish this, an outside barrier treatment is made in the ground around the foundation of the home that will protect against termites for up to 10 years or more. Figure 9. Armascirus yulongensis Chen & Jin n. sp., female holotype: A, dorsal idiosoma; B, ventral idiosoma.Animals often need to be removed from the enclosure, increasing the risk of Mite spread and/or Stress to the animal.
