Use lysol?

I recently tried an experiment by putting a bunch of holes with a safety pin in the lid of my slowest colonizer, it has not caught up to the rest and is looking the best, my question is i keep the one with the holes in it in a seethru container, should i spray Lysol in the container before i put the exposed top jars in?

Never spray Lysol in your container.

I don't use lysol. Soap and water for surfaces, that's all you need.

well the only reason i kept it in a container is my "dry" verm layer got moist, so i dont want any airborne contaminants going in the holes. Does that matter if the verm layer got moist? I mean the holes are from a safety pin, (very very small) but what could i use to disinfect a container for open holed jars

The less you mess with your jars, the better off you'll be. If the holes were big enough to inoculate through, they are fine.
Now put your jars away and stop hassling them.

It makes no sense to sterilize the bin. As Doc said, wash it and you'll be fine.

How is the moist dry verm layer going to contact the inside of your glovebox?
Remember that bacteria are like white men. They can not jump.

Bacteria are only on surfaces, not flying through the air unless you sneeze them into it. Mold spores and other sorts of contams can be airborne from wind and currents.
Put your jars in a cupboard or something and leave them alone.

Any time i use lysol or oust in or around my FC, I get mutants that seem to have inside out gills.

I'd imagine using them around jars could have shittier consequences.

Bacteria is in the air everywhere, even in the arctic. It hitches rides on dust, and even mold spores. Every breath we take exhales thousands of bacteria into the air to circulate around.

If it hasn't caught up to the rest, how does it look the best? That doesn't add up. RR
