I think this brings up an important topic which isn't often discussed here. I happen to live in my snake room and even though I'm compelled to clean up quickly after defecations, it can get funky and just recently I was having a very mild allergic reaction to airborne funk.



So, I went online and looked for ionizing are purifiers. I found some "Ionic Aire" models at Target which looked like a good, silent solution but when I got there all they had where fan/filter based jobs (some with an ionizer option?). Anyway, reluctantly I decided to try one of the fan jobs for around $80. I left the noisy thing on high and after about 20 hours I could no longer detect any funk and my allergic reaction subsided. I now turn it on intermittently if things are getting stuffy and so far I'm more or less happy with it. BUT, it is noisy and probably hikes up my energy bill significantly.



I'd like to know more about the efficacy of the silent ionizers from anyone using them.



As for the thing you're using...I might suppose it would irritate your animals, but then a constant feces funk might be even worse for all I knonw. It seems to me that snakes like to get away from there mess, probably cause, in wild situations, it would tip-off predators.



Hope to here more opinions on this.
