I'm trying to get rid of red bugs. I've asked our vet for a couple interceptor pills but he won't sell them to me. Does anyone have access to this stuff? Throw a pm my way if you do.

Interceptor is for heartworm prevention in dogs? You will probably have to find someone with dogs who uses Interceptor. I don't have any as I don't medicate our dogs for it in the winter.

Thanks. Yes, interceptor is a heart worm medication for small animals, but is also used to kill red bugs that plague acropora. I have dogs and our vet won't sell me pills even after I explained what I need them for.

 They won't process the order without vet approval. |

Yeah, you need vet approval. With our vet, they won't give me the Interceptor until the dogs have been tested for heartworm. If a dog has heart worms, and you give it the medicine, it can kill the dog.
I don't think your vet will give you the med now that he knows what you want if for.
Perhaps there is a "black market" for Interceptor.

Ask your vet if he'll 'treat' your acro. There must be must some risk involved for it to be so heavily regulated. I have potassium permanganate (obviously can't add to the tank) but I'm not sure if it will treat red bugs.
