This doesn’t seem to occur much in print, but when my wife worked at a pet store, people would ask for “allergy eaters” or “allergy treatment” for their fish tank, when they were having Algae growing in their tank.
“Allergy Eaters” is google-able, but it mostly returns people complaining about ignorant customers in pet stores!
