You said the shelf life of an opened package is only about 45 days. Would it be increased if the ziplock package was resealed and frozen?

Honestly, as toxic as this stuff is, I wouldn't place it in any freezer with other food under any circumstances. I used one package with the smallest number of gummy worms in it to eradicate a group of moles and this stuff worked like a charm. Putting the whole package into the area was the ticket. A mole expert I hired previously used just a few worms and the moles weren't eradicated.

Not sure where the 45 days came from, but I have always resealed the package after use and have used the product as much as three months later with good results. Contact the manufacturer directly about freezing.

I did keep it in a ziplock bag after opening. However, after trying several different products, I would recommend a mole trap if you believe you may a recurring problem. Since there is no way to tell if the bait is working when new moles move in.

I can't tell you for certain what the standard shelf life is but mylar bags or canning jars would certainly extend it. Don't forget to add an oxygen absorber too!

Yes Definitely when not in use just put back into its original bag reseal it and it should last sometimes up to three months I've had mine I think six months and three of them are still good that have been opened and in jars with material.

No idea. Haven't tried that. I haven't had a problem with shelf life, though.

Refrigerated after opening in a sealed bag. It should last until you use it up.......

It doesn't say the actual shelf life on the package but based on the way it's processed I'm sure it can go 3-6 months. I rotate a box through every couple months so I always have it on hand.

Sin, on the back of my package it states that the expiration is April of 2015. I keep in freezer after opening. It never lasts long enough that I need to worry about that! Dr K

The best by date on my recent purchase is January 2015, but I have stored previously purchased packages for at least two years unopened with no deterioration of quality whatsoever. Once I open a box, a transfer to a glass cannister with a screw on lid to make sure nothing gets in the package. We live in Florida and seal everything and have never had a problem.

My package says manufactured 1/2014, expires 1/2016 so 2 years unopened. I would imagine that once opened, you'd want to use it within 6 months for best quality. The bag is ziploc-style, but even in a dry pantry some moisture from the air will get in.

This product doesn't have a shelf life that I'm aware of. The contents are under pressure. As long as the integrity of the container isn't compromised you should be good to go.

It would be different for the precise packages that you are looking it compared to the ones I bought 1 year ago. They did not arrive rancid and I have been storing them in the freezer and they are still good.

Depending on storage conditions: temperature & moisture exposure; I would think that this product would keep almost indefinitely even after opening because there isn't anything to break down without exposure to other things. I recently found a misplaced opened package (with ziplock closed) and it seemed in perfect condition and this was over a year.

As long as they remain sealed in the ziplock bag they are shipped in and stored on a dry cool shelf they should last up to 3 months. Do not refridgerate.

It's hard to say....we used them up in a fairly short time. Be sure they are tightly sealed in a plastic bag or they do get a little hard. I'd think a couple of weeks would be fine. Of course, you could freeze part of the package if you thought you would not use them in a while.

According to manufacturer, expiration date is generally three years after production. So long as you limit the product's unnecessary exposure to air and moisture (and follow manufacturer's recommendations that product be stored in "dry, cool and dark" location), it should, presumably, stay fresh in its resealable bag for the amount of time it takes you to use it all up.

Your Foodsaver appliance removes the air and heat seals your package. There is no "zip seal" involved in preparation of your product for storage. Hope this answers your question.

No. It will be fine up to a year IF properly sealed. I would not put in in the fridge due to the potential for off odors and flavors to creep in if the bag seal is compromised. Mine is stored in tins and double zip lock pouches. This stuff is so good that it never lasts long enough to tell actual shelf life.
