That's a good start... I feel your pain! Honestly I think they are the cause of  mycologists having a mental breakdown (just snapping) going postal, etc.

I put everything in zip locks now. 1 more line of defense. Dollar store snak size (press snap not zippered)

+1 for baggies.
Not very cool, but oh so practical.
Also, the plate never needs cleaning before sterile work.

Theres these bug cartridges that look like a slice of kraft cheese in a plastic case. I wanna say the brand name is Black Knight or something along those lines. Anyway...you put one in a room and the pesticide goes airborne, killing anything with an exoskeleton. I used to keep snakes, and accidentally brought home mites from a reptile show and used that to knock them out. I think it would get too diluted to use in a large room, but if you're using a spare room for a grow room or something like that, you can straight up commit genocide with one of those.

Edit: Pretty sure they had them at walmart, but this was like 2018 so my memory is foggy.

careful, some of them are only visible under a microscope and will prolong the infestation.

Finished building my induction sterilizer. Modded a stl that Myco Dogs had uploaded. Not totally happy with the cover and will be redoing eventually but for now it will have to do.

The extent of my knowledge is just seeing someone use one in a video, so forgive my ignorance, but would something like this be able to sterilize the first 1" of a #11 scalpel along with the blade? I always run the flame up the handle about an inch. Not to red hot, but I figure it's gotta help, right? Was jc if that could be accomplished with one of these electric sterilizers.

my build used a cheap ZVS and a 12v40a power supply. It will heat #7 handle glowing red in less than 20 seconds.

What Scemilope said. Basically the thicker the metal the longer it will take to heat up. Also its best suited for ferrous metals.

Yeah, I would assume thicker - longer. I dont even need it red hot; I just get a sense of comfort from having the first bit of the handle torched a bit as well. I told myself I was done spending on QoL upgrades, but god damn it...I've spent $100 on much worse. Lmao

Edit: I had to google "ferrous". Yall gotta quit talking to me like I'm smart. I gift hand carved wooden pickles ffs. I'm lucky to have even survived this long without a helmet...
