I just put a bag (previously open) of scratch into a metal can for storage and it's full of little beetles. I'm assuming it's still ok because the chickens will eat the bugs ... extra protein? It doesn't smell bad...just lots of little beetles.

Yep I'll feed mine bugs. I even have a special vaccum for the roaches that two years of Terminix couldn't fix. It is embarrasing to admit but we move them out and they just move back in. Life in the RGV:confused: We can't even hang pictures for fear of creating roach habitat. I spent nearly 1 grand to have each and every crack in my house caulked up. Nothing has worked.

Ya, I have the same problem. It was the same in Hawaii. I figured it was ok. I have all my pantry stuff lock sealed to keep that from happening and I still get them every now and then. They love oatmeal

Yup I buy pickles in those 5 gallon glass jars not because I love pickles, but those are the right size to store your flours and grains. Sure I'm a Texan and if you make a burger it better come with mustard and pickles for bonus points cheese and jalapeno too and maybe a buttered seared bun. The taco store makes a horrible burger so I ask them to leave it dry. For some reason they think ketchup and mayo belong on a burger and people here think I am culturally unaware. DQ and Whataburger get it though.

We had chickens 20 years ago and I remember this like it was yesterday. We used to keep our dog food in a clean room rash can. I opened it up one day and there were two huge tree roaches in there. I scooped them up and threw them in the chicken run....it was like a race to see who could catch them.....lol.

LOL That's how they act when I throw a handful of cherry tomatoes in the run...
