[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 331165, member: 10650"] "Not dangerous" in regards to toxicity of a chemical is relative. Maybe not to us (unless we drink it straight from the bottle) but as you said it is used to kill things like tiny creatures. The part about leaving it in the sun to dry for several days is super critical to make sure all of it is broken down. I was worried someone else would skip that part or not leave it out long enough to degrade completely (you'd be surprised how many people try to take shortcuts and do something phenomenally dumb in the process without thinking of the possible consequences) Besides, trying to make sticks and leaves sterile for a mantis environment is completely unnecessary. The main task you want to do is brush off things like ants, aphids, etc and those are big enough that a scrub brush and plain water is all that's needed. [/QUOTE]
