[QUOTE="dgerndt, post: 171432, member: 4480"] Sorry it's been so long since I posted! I've been busy with work and whatnot. So here's my problem: I've been able to scavenge some empty plastic food containers that would be perfect for mantis enclosures. The only thing wrong with them is that they have huge stickers over the sides so it's nearly impossible to see what's inside. So I peeled the stickers off, but that horrible sticky residue is left on the containers and I can't scrub that stuff off no matter how hard I try. I've left them to soak in warm water, I've tried scrubbing with a sponge and soap, I even tried using a pocket knife to scrape it off. All that accomplished was a sticky sponge, knife and hands. <_< I know I'm not the only one here who uses old jars and plastic containers for mantis houses, so how do you get that stuff off? There's gotta be a way! Thanks in advance, guys! P.S. I like the updated layout! :D [/QUOTE]
