Questions & Answers

Is it possible for me to mask the area where I will be applying the fluon to the acrylic on my outworld with painters tape?

Creating a masked area on acrylic into which Fluon is to be applied requires consideration of the soft and solvent-resistant properties of acrylic A material that is insensitive to temperature changes. Unlike latex painted walls, painter's tape won't leave an adhesive deposit on acrylic walls. There may be a small amount of residue left on acrylic, which may be hard If you prefer, you can order a green PET tape instead, which has a silicone adhesive and is made of plastic, not paper, so it won't rot or rot. As far as Fluon is concerned, it should not infiltrate or affect it. Both of these have been used by us and the recommendation is based on our experience.

When you combine the three bottles, how much are they? This description doesn't seem to tell me much and I can buy 4 oz of it for the same price on another website.?

Did everything according to directions, but it does not work
3/5

It was my goal to follow the instructions to the letter. Neither did I shake it nor did I double layer it I kept it at proper temperatures and did not shake I don't have to worry about my ants traveling Could it be because there are a fair number of Arboreal insects among them? the barrier and don't appear interested in passing it at first, but later I see them just cruise right on up over it. Despite the fact that it came in a nice package, looked professional, and even had a simple instruction booklet, I was disappointed in it. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I don't think I'll buy it again despite the fact that a lot of people seem to like it. Eventually I'll try it again with some of my less aggressive ants to see if it works and if I do, I'll update my feedback.

A great value for the money
5/5

Ant barriers like this are by far the best I've ever seen. A machine that does not use air Obviously, the lid needs to be tight). A fluon can be used to transform any ant outworld set up into an open top setup. In the past, I have used other types of fluon, and I have made my own, but it has always been Unless a light is angled in the right spot behind it to light up the fluon, this fluon is almost invisible when its dry (refer to the Additionally, it lasts for a very long time! It has been more than 4 months since I applied this fluon to the glass of my terrarium for my ant colony, and it still works like it did when I put it on. One single application is not enough to stop even one ant from escaping for four months! If I continue this way, I will have this 3 pack for years to come. These fluon bottles also feature a design that makes fluon easier to apply Corner application is made easy with the dipstick bottle, which is good since this is where ants generally have the most difficulty blocking walls. If you are a hobbyist or entomologist and have an interest in ants, then this is a great resource!.

It was evident that all the packages were packaged well and arrived perfect
5/5

I ordered the Fluon, Sunburst Ant Food, Galileo liquid feeders, and the Galileo liquid feeders from It was evident that all the packages were packaged well and arrived perfect. Prior to using Terry's products, I had never tried any of his products. In order to apply Byformica Fluon, I ripped off my old used an open top and it worked like a charm at keeping the ants out. could not cross it under any circumstances. Then I used Sunburst Ant Food liquid feeders. The sunburst ant food quickly found its way to the ants and they loved it. The feeders are great looking and really add a lot of class to my set ups. In the future, I will be purchasing all of these products since they are of high quality and I was very impressed with them. That's why I give this a ten out of ten. In my YouTube channel, I will be doing an in-depth review. I really like the work you're doing promoting our hobby, Terry! You're doing a great job, keep it up!.

It is too expensive to use
3/5

Does the same job as insect-a-cide I have a lip gloss tube from BioQuip and I really like it. The lip gloss wands are great too. Depending on the climbing skills of an ant, some cannot utilize this long term. Many different species of fish get over it within a few hours or even after a day. But I've had other species that never passed the test. It may be expensive compared to BioQuip, but at least it can be bought readily.

Entice your ants to stay in their place
5/5

Keeping ants requires fluon - it is a crucial tool The last thing anyone wants is to have ants running around the house, even pet ants. With these, you get a decent amount of material, and the applicator makes application easy, but you should make sure to clean the surfaces before application, or else the applicator material will get dirty. Most species cannot pass a well applied fluon strip that measures 2" or more. The width of this piece is 3".

This product is good, and it works just fine when it is used correctly
4/5

The product has good quality and works just fine as long as it is used correctly according to the comprehensive instructions that come with it. sadly, I also need to point out these two issues 1) The three packages are not the old blue ink as pictured in the images, but are ink in black(? ), rather than the old blue? In addition to this, the text on the bottles is printed directly on them and is easily erased by simply touching it, leaving your hands dirty, making it a I never had a problem with the old etiquette. 3) My package has a leak in the storage - I do not know why it did this. In transport, as a result of the fluon coating, the three bottles were coated, and this was not a recommended practice because of the toxicity of the substance. In my case, at least one good thing is that the leak may not have come from my package at all, but rather from some other source, as my bottles had still been full. It is possible, I guess.

I have so far had no problems
5/5

My favorite part of the product is the packaging and the extra fancy features, especially the roll on stick since it makes applying so The product so far is great though I am still a bit early into my ant journey, so I am not yet sure if it works. I'll update you.
