FruitandNutCake Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 OK, not exactly the flitrap, but the spare sachets of powder that came with it. As the packaging smelt awful, and I didn't want to store it in the house, I put all the spare sachets in one of the thick plastic bags that the flitrap was packaged in. I then put it in the greenhouse. When I went to water my seedlings I was wondering what the awful smell was- and then noticed that something had chewed through the thick plastic bag, and chewed through two of the small plastic sachets and had eaten 2 of the contents, leaving some remaining scattered on my greehouse floor. Possibly the smell attracted a cat or a fox, mice or worse still: rats ? I've now put the rest in side 2 thick bags inside a plastic drawer ( one of those stacks on wheels) and hope that whoever likes eating it can't open the drawer! Just a warning to anyone who stores their spare sachets in a out building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I have a theory that they attract something bigger. I have had two completely vanish. As they stink of rotting meat, I think Monsieur Reynard thought they were a tasty morsel and made off with them. My theory has had scorn poured on it, but I stand by it.

FruitandNutCake Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I now suspect a ginger tom cat (possibly ferral) as he seems to live behind the neighbour's out buildings and I spotted him lurking by the greenhouse! At least no rats! I'd rather have the cat around keeping the mice and rats down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
