Has anyone used the product "x-terminator" that is made to catch mantis shrimp?I have been trying to catch 3 camel shrimp and just found out about this thing.I really don't want to move too many things around to get these guys.My system is going so good I don't want to disturb it.Thanks in advance for any leads,and by all means if anybody has had to do the same thing PLEASE let me know!

I've had the best luck with a 20 ounce plastic bottle. Over night, it caught my mantis and peppermint. I took the peppermint out and then boiled the mantis on the stove, then let the garbage disposal do the rest. I hope I don't get any grief about animal cruelty, but I had 6 months to think about what I was going to do with it when I finally caught it.

I believe I still have a mantis shrimp.
It's sound and appearance comes and goes.
Have not seen it or heard it in several weeks.
I've tried the X-Terminator with no luck yet, but will continue to use it.
Boiling a mantis shrimp - well that would do it.
The garbage disposer would have been sufficient means of getting rid of it IMO - but do what you must.
