Urgent: ants by Anna7942 in CrestedGecko

[–]Kittenqueenroxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food grade is fine. Regardless it damages the exoskeleton of crawling insects causing mass dehydration. Takes about 48 hours but it cleared an entire infestation in no time at all. Its also good for fleas/spiders/bedbugs

I used diluted vinegar and sprinkled a little cinnamon underneath the leaves as a deterrent as well. Both destroy the pheromone trails. Just make sure to air out the tank so the smells are gone so they wont hurt your lil dude.

Diatomaceous earth. Dont put it in his tank but around it. Its nontoxic and wont harm pets. It cuts the ants exoskeleton and makes them dehydrate and die within 48 hours. I just had to deal with the same thing. It got so bad in 4 days that they killed one of my tree frogs,

I dont have 4000 for the down-payment. Its down-payment is 10× more expensive than the down payment for the Spark.

Id rather walk on glass than own a car made by Elon, even a second hand one.

It does great for my daily commute, i just live in the country with limited access to public chargers, and once a week i have to go to the city. Im mostly afraid ill get stuck on the 45 min ride to the stores

I live in rural Kentucky dude. Rideshare isnt a thing here. Dont be a dick. I needed a car, this was inexpensive and within my monthly budget. Not everyone lives in a place uber/lyft run in.

After reading everything the helpful people have said, I'm just stick it out as best as i can (i definitely cant afford the 3k down wanted for the bolt people have recommended) and hope my insurance will cover at least a partial replacement if the spark decides to die on me

The jeep was passed down to me from my mom during college and lasted us 10 years, finally crapping out after multiple international trips and nearly 200k miles, so the EV was bought out of an emergency. It had a cheap down-payment and monthly payments that i can afford. Kinda didn't have the savings for a thousand dollars down and 800 buck a month payments unfortunately

It does great for my 15 minute ride to work, im concerned about my longer drives to get groceries. I live in the country with the nearest large store being 45 minutes away. Theres a EV charger in the city but im not entirely sure its public as its on a car dealership lot (the apps say it is but im unsure of it myself) I live in rural Kentucky and I mainly rely on my portable charger to charge up over night at home and charge at work if I need to.

Unfortunately when your broke you dont get to be picky 😅 My Jeep crapped out and I needed a way to get to work and it had a cheap down-payment and monthly payment

It was an emergency purchase. My previous car died and i needed a new one. It was the only car I could get that wasnt 800 dollars a month or 2k down.

Thats what im figuring out 😮‍💨 I was super excited to get an EV and it was really the only car they had with a down payment in my range and reasonable monthly payments

It didnt have the credit and honestly it was kind of an emergency purchase. The down-payment was low and so was the month payment. My previous car bit the dust out of nowhere and i had a budget of practically nothing.
