    Black Plastic Musket cap containers wanted

    Hello

    I am looking for a good number of black plastic musket cap containers. I work at zoo and I have found a good way to recycle them. After drilling several small holes in them, they are perfect for placing ant baits in them. Then this way I can place them in many of the small animal cages without worrying about the animals messing with the baits. How many do I want? I was hoping to bring home about 100. Once I find out my team's musket position, I will post it and if people can save them and then drop them off, it would be most appreciated. I like the plastic containers for they last longer, do not rust and being black are easier to hide in the exhibits.

    Thanks

    John, for some unknown reason, I have accumulated 30+. Glad to help out. Sounds like an ingenious use for a pesky problem.
