pest strips worked for mites? really?? and dont worry man, THOSE mites dont like eating people. they MAY be on you but they wont hurt ya ;)
and good luck on your hunt! i may be going out in the morning as well.
use air cooled hoods. have your exhaust side ducted out of the container and have the intake side of your hoods hooked to a carbon filter mounted towards the top of your container. cut a intake hole somewhere in the container (preferably low) and call it a day.
at least theres not too much thats extremely poisonous in the daintree. some big snakes hanging out of the trees sure, crocs in the water definitely, but as far as poisonous stuff goes ive done a little research and theres not too much out there.
ya at least the laws you guys got there arent too bad. lots of slaps on the wrists for things we would be thrown in jail for in some places here. ide like to move to the far north east part of australia. in the rainforests and wetlands. the daintree specifically. wouldnt be very good for growing...
