Top of Descent

[AUSGECKO]

Does anyone know whether i can use Top of Descent in gecko enclosures? I read somewhere that insecticides can`t be used in gecko enclosures or you will end up with a whole heap of dead gecko`s. The gecko`s don`t have mites, there is a whole heap of very small insects in the substrate and enclosure decorations, I think they might have come in the substrate or from the crickets somehow but they are not on the gecko`s.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

Replace the substrate, much cheaper then replacing geckos. And let the decorations soak in some hot water or bleach.

The substrat is fairly new, I keep getting them only a couple of weeks after changing the substrate, it`s working out pretty expensive to change the subtrate each time. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Bump Has any one heard whether Top of Descent is fatal to gecko`s?

I would not use any sort of spray with Geckos.. not worth the risk.

Try getting a spare tub for now, and just throwing out the current substrate and place the tub / logs / whatever in the freezer for two weeks, at least that will get rid of any from there.
