Is it OK to use Eucalyptus sticks in a Ghost Mantis Enclosure?

[Renzi]

Hello!

I just collected a ton of twigs for my new baby ghosts and started sterilizing them... then realized while they were boiling that it smelled of eucalyptus. I know branches of this species cannot be used in reptile enclosures due to the scent they can excrete, but are they okay for Mantids?

They should be fine.

Should be fine, just make sure that none of them are from pines/conifers and that they don’t have any pesticides on them.
