The bad thing about using the pest strip in the incubator is there is no to very little ventilation. I've always used it in a glass tank with a screen top. If I was in this situation, I would take the clutch with one hand over to the sink and run it under water that is not too hot or not too cold, just warm. Then cut away the bad egg(s) with a razor blade. I've done this before. Its ok to leave the little part of the shell from the bad egg that is stuck to the good egg, but I still try to rip most of it off with my fingers after I cut the rest of the egg off. If the bad egg is really hard to get to, you can still try to pull the stuck eggs apart very slowly to get too it. I've tried this a few times and have never ripped an egg, but I think you will know if an egg is going to rip by determining how thick the shell is and how hard you pull. If the shells are really thin, they may rip, so I'd try to cut as large a hole in the bad egg as possible, and rinse all the bad liquid out. Just to be extra cautious, I would clean out the container they were in, put in new substrate, and cover all the holes with tape and just open it every other day or whenever to allow air exchange. Yes, I'd do all that before throwing a pest strip in there. LOL
