| my original spray bottle broke due to years of use and we have a lot laying around the house the thing is they are old and most likely have pesticide/insecticides. the one i washed out with just water had some i know that for sure.
i was wondering would this be safe to use even though i rinsed it out? i'll be using it for my worms to spray the bedding down from time to time so i really don't want to kill them. |

| i am currently soaking it in baking soda and water. hopefully it kills it. idk if i will chance it or not i am out of a soray bottle the all were broken. and i have no money to buy a new one |

| Watch out for baking soda; it's *very* high in sodium. Make sure you rinse really well or neutralize with vinegar. Do you need to use a spray bottle? Your cooler bin surely isn't dry already? You could soak a paper towel and flop it over the bin to drip, or sprinkle water with your finger tips. |

| I would either sprinkle water from my fingertips or use a spice jar. A spice jar normally has a lid with holes in it. Clean it out and fill it with water and you can lightly sprinkle water out of it. I would definitely not use that spray bottle, especially because you have mentioned money is tight and I would guess you can't afford to buy more worms if this goes south. |
