How long can you store a container of the bait chunks,does the product become ineffective if stored any length of time?

I purchased this in Aug 2013 and it is still working...I keep it sealed in the bucket that it came in.

Not that I know of. I have not seen any rodents for one year of putting it in my outside storage unit.

We used our for two winter seasons and it work the second winter year just as well as the first... We kept it in the sealed package in side a closet in the house

doesn't seem to lose any potency unless you're storing it for a decade or two. Keep it in as close to an air-tight container in your cool,dark cupboard and you're set!

I stored them for as long as 5 weeks. I bought some meal worm medium and put about half of it in a plastic tub that holds about 4 gallons, added the meal worms, and took a piece of an old sheet, and used a big rubber band to keep it in place. Amazingly, the worms did not appear to have tried to escape this contraption. Store the container in the coldest spot you have. A refrigerator is best, but next to an air conditioning vent will do. (The worms survived REALLY cold weather outside). Add more medium as they eat the supply you started with.

Hi 'Like Hunter products',Thank you for your interest. We guarantee a minimum shelf-life of two years from the date of manufacturing, which corresponds to the expiration date printed on the bottom of the bottle. After the two year period, the supplement may gradually start to lose some of its effectiveness. We do recommend refrigerating the supplement once it has been opened as this will help retain the potency of the active ingredients for a longer period of time.I hope this answers your question.JohnTerraMax Pro

From investigating on the internet, the shelf life is 5.5 years from date of manufacture. I would expect that it probably is effective much longer than that if kept in its original unopened pouch. At worst, I would expect it to be much better than nothing even after seven or eight years.

I use the little measuring spoon supplied with the product. It lasts me about 7 months for my 32 # dog. No noticeable effects from keeping it that long. It's a dry powder in an opaque container. Shouldn't be a problem to keep it a year or more.

I purchased this product to create meals in a jar for long term food storage. That's why it's in powder form instead of a liquid. I assume the shelf-life would be typical to any powdered spice - 1 year or longer depending how you store it. I use oxygen absorbing packets after opening which also extend the shelf life.

Probably indefinite. As long as it's kept dry there's nothing that can go bad, it's like storing sugar. If you're using it in recipes it won't last long enough to worry about shelf life.

I dumped the container into doubled trash bags with bleach in them. I then placed them out with my trash. It's a nasty job. It would certainly be easier to just buy more traps.

Yes. Yes they do IF they die inside. So far, after a winter and spring of fairly regularly leaving fresh packets of bait, I only had that issue come up once, and both were found at the same time, behind the fridge. Luckily, they weren't in the walls. I know that at least a dozen, of not three times that many, have been dispatched. Only two didnt make it outside.

If we have fresh cherries in the fridge, we use a little wedge from one of those. We have also had success with peanut butter... smearing about 1/4 tsp of peanut butter on the part that holds the bait.

no idea - i use it when i buy it. The product is very effective - the best I have found. Who cares about shelf life when you have the best product?

Some accidentally get "stuck" in the bait and cannot get out no matter how hard they try. Not to worry, many others circle the bait puddles you put out and gorge on it and then they all go away to die. I'll see 50 ants around those puddles I put on paper or cardboard and after 24 hours they are gone. Once the puddles get hard they are not interested anymore.

Depends on how you store this. Personally, I pop a desiccator into the mix and then wrap the whole thing in tin foil to keep it away from the light. Store it in a dark, cool place and you should be ok for at least one year. Hope this helps.

It will depend on how much you put out and how offen they come back to injest the bait. I would think within a week or two you should see a difference from the feedback that we receive from out customers. Its a very popular product that works very well. Thank you

I keep it at room temperature in a cool dark place as powder. Once I mix it with water (to make patties) the mix should be kept in the freezer. I usually mix it the day I will feed it to the bees. I use the whole container before four months, and at least for that length the shelf life has been very good.

If your basement's temperature is constant and it's dry in there, you can store the product for about 12 months. Kind regards !
