I'm sure most collectors based in the U.S. are aware of and have bought from Bioquip in the last several decades. It appears they are shutting down for good. I'm not sure if it was a ownership decision, or COVID, or an inability to sell the business, but I was wondering what the other options are for collectors. Bioquip was such a convenient one stop shop, although the prices of the products became ridiculous in the last few years. I am not aware of places that sell things like the blacklight sheets, or ballasted MV lights, or bucket traps in the U.S. anymore.
Anyone have any insights or comments on the upcoming Bioquip closure.

there is another thread under "announcements" that address some of your questions. There are other sources, but like you say, it was one stop shopping,
prices for everything raise, it's a vicious circle of higher wages, and so on.
I just made an order, would I have bought those items if not for Bioquip closing? No. In any event, I'll probably be set for a number of years,
if not decades.

Yeah I just looked at that thread but I guess I am more interested in alternate sites for some of these products. Who makes BL bucket traps, or ballasted MV lights, or has those standing sheets? I think we were all paying for convenience, but I don't even know if I ordered something that it would be in stock!

UPDATE. Called BioQuip this afternoon Feb-24-2022 about one of several orders I recently placed. They informed me there are products they are still waiting on to be delivered to them before shutting down in two weeks.
