OMG Aquatics Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Is it safe to use driftwood that was at my backyard for months? It was in my aquarium about 5 months ago but took it out and left it in a container at my backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamashack Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Depends if you've used any pesticides since it was there or maybe your neighbours if they live close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 No pesticides used. Should I reboil it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 No pesticides used. Should I reboil it? I would definitely reboil, just to be safe. Don't want any extra hitchhikers or chemicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Looks like spiders have made home in the driftwood. I guess it's best not to use this driftwood and get new ones? Lots of spider webs all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just give it a good scrubbing and boil it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyd Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 A boil and a scrub will clean it up just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
