Can anyone tell me how to keep leeches alive?

Leeches are pretty hardy creatures and will survive quite a while if kept in cool, fairly clean water.  In a covered container kept in a refrigerator they will live for weeks or months if you change the water once a week or so.  Keep the container covered or they may crawl out of the container and die without being in water.

Yes, insects can survive under water for a very long time.  One way is by trapping air in their body hair.  Most insects and arachnids are covered with fine hairs.  When under water, air becomes trapped among them.  This air can support the bug for a long time.\n\nThe waste pipes in your home are mostly empty.  Beyond the bowl the pipes are not full of water.  They are full of air.  Therefore once the water flows away the bug has an empty pipe upon which it can attach itself.\n\nSo the question of surviving underwater becomes moot.  There is no water to worry about.\n\nFlushing an insect or an arachnid (spiders are not insects they are arachnids) is not absolute or certain death.

To get rid of them in the house, try this:\nGet a shiny foil pie pan and a bright light (like a desk lamp) Put a couple of drops of dish soap in the pan and some water and mix them together - not super sudsy. Put the pan in a dark room (at night is ideal) and shine the lamp right into the center of the pan. \nThose little buggers will be attracted to the shine, jump in, and because of the soap, can't jump out, and will drown.

Leeches can help heal skin grafts and restore blood circulation. Their primary function is to drain blood. Pooled blood around a wound can threaten tissue survival.\nLeeches apply the perfect amount of suction to get the blood flowing

You can  buy a billion different NIX bottles and they probably still won't die. I had lice as a kid and it was NASTY! What you need to do is sufficate them. Try covering your head with Thick conditioner. It doesn't have to be expensive. (VO5, suave) Completely cover the roots and tips so there is no air around your hair. \n\nWrap your head in something to keep the conditioner from getting everywhere.. Usually a shower cap or a plastic bag. Do this in the late afternoon and sleep with it on your head. They can't hold their breathe for that long! (12 hours tops) When you take a shower the next day, you will find a TON of dead lice eggs and bugs in your shower. Those who don't fall out... can be combed out. They will fall out easier because of the conditioner. Plus, it's great moisturization for your hair. No chemicals at all, and it costs under five dollars.  :) Good luck!

Not long but the problem isn't getting rid of the adults, it's getting rid of the eggs.  Just immersing the head in water isn't going to help that.\n\nSee the link below.  You need to both shampoo with lice killer and also use some kind of pesticide for your whole house, especially the room where the person who has lice sleeps.

Bass will be coming up to the shallows looking for spawning areas and food, try a plastic worm with a small weight in and around the lilly pads (texas rig style)hook point in the worm to prevent hooking the pads. Try green spinner baits around the timber letting it sink close to bottom. Most people reel crankbaits so fast only the most active fish will bite, slow down :D

What we were told by a professional is that\n1. mothballs and snakeaway do diddlysquat for venomous snakes.\n2. Get rid of their prey--mice, voles, etc.\n3. Get rid of their shelter\n4. Lime does seem to help (something about burning out their Jacobsen's organs, which they use for hunting/smell/etc.). We used a mixure of lime and sulphur last year and I haven't seen a copperhead since then. We did have a black snake, which unfortunately I had to kill (he came in the house and the only way we could get him back out was kill him :(\n\nI have also been told that goats will kill snakes, as will guinea hens. Cats probably work because they kill the prey.

go to lowes or home depot or some place like that and get spider glue or bait traps... or call an exterminator and ask them what your options are, they usually will be helpful FOR FREE!.

Are you referring to worms, go to the chemist for a good dose of medicine.\n\nEat garlic, vinegars, and chilly.

The first thing you must do is eliminate the hatcheries. Keep the garbage that they(flies) lay eggs in away from your factory. Then you need to spray some barn-spray. Malthion works well, and is available at most feed stores or your local vet. Good luck!

leeches r mainly used to remove blood clots. if there is a cloft formes in the blood vessles , leeches remove them

Put in a plastic bag, make sure you leave holes in them, of course not at water level. Your fish will survive, don't worry. Fresh fish is better then dead ones.

We had a problem with copperheads also and mothballs around the area work great!  Also chickens will kill them and cats.  If you get bit you just need to go to your doctor or emergancy.  Make sure you wear boots when walking about out there!

Yeah...distilled leech oil or so called Minyak Lintah Tapa produced from leeches that feed on coconut oils ( minyak kelapa hijau ) until they are full (kenyang giler). Then, the leeches will be leaved to fully digest the oil. The process will repeat several times, then the leeches (not internet leeches) will be cut open.The leeches internal will be full of oils and then extracted.\nThat's how you make minyak lintah....\nI read it from a very old book...i mean a veeeery old books, Jawi written

easiest way is to spit on them (i know, yuk, but it works)\n\nalso, a wax candle lightly rubbed will repell water
