Re: [Killietalk] Convention, fly control

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at centurytel_net>]

My reference to using mothballs was specifically related to grindal 
worms too. Note that I only leave them in until the flies are gone then 
remove them. I never agree with my fellow veterinarian, Dr. Dan, either, 
but my memory is that those yellow strips made for getting rid of flies 
and other insects are organophosphate, which is a potent poison too. All 
I can say is that I have used paradichlorbenzene (specifically) and have 
not noticed adverse affects on the worms or on the fish I feed them to. 
I also should say that I always rinse my worms a couple of times, 
mothballs or not.

Regarding Dan's troubles registering, if he got to the credit card stage 
he had got to the point where he was on the Paypal site. The AKA site 
does not collect credit card information. Direct all complaints to 
Paypal. :-) Seriously, lots of people have registered so far with very 
few complaints. A few people have misunderstood the registration 
discount for number of meals ordered. I have now added More Info links 
to each item, which will pop up a window with a detailed explanation for 
each option. Hopefully that will help.
