Can a Corn Smell a King?

Ozone disinfection is supposed to work. That is what they used to kill crypto in the pipes used in drinking water contaminated with cryptro. Dr Griner also told me Hot drirect sun light also kill Crypto so does time. If you clean the cage real good and keep in a dry low humidity the oocyst will dry out and die in a few months.
 
So sounds like if I want something relatively speedy, drench the object in ammonia OUTSIDE and then leave it there until it doesn't smell any more! Or I can put them out in direct summer sun to bake for a day or two.

These are very helpful pieces of info! Thanks Lauren! Thanks Vinnie!

anytime Lauren the summer here in the east coast is perfect. Make sure you rinse it real good before you put it in the sun. The heat the UV dries it out and sterilizes the object. if you ever touched something laying in the hot sun all day you know how hot it can get
 
Vin, I have yet to be musked by my king its just his normal body scent they smell on me. I do not use paper towels either, I'm a tree hugger lol. Sadly I dedicate my olive oil and lemon juice to cooking and food preservation. By the time I finish cooking/freezing or canning I have no lemon juice! I just make sure I take care of him last or on the day after the corns eat :) works for me.
 
sorry should say jungle not king, ug wishful thinking lol Also sorry for the dp I have yet to put up for a paid membership so I can edit. I really need to do that.
