Questions & Answers
The answer to that question would have helped me decide whether to purchase this 25 lb bag of raw peanuts for our scrub Jays and squirrels. It is per the Internet that they will not be safe to consume, as they contain a toxin called Aflatoxin (a fungus toxin) that can harm squirrels as well as birds' livers. The pills contain a trypsin inhibitor, which is known to disrupt the production of the enzyme trypsin in the pancreas, which is essential to protein absorption. If you are thinking of feeding squirrels in your backyard, you should never feed them raw peanuts as they may not be

The brown, shriveled and broken leaves were difficult to distinguish.
I was disappointed to see how dusty and old it looked. At first, just as I was scooping them out of the bag, a few bugs began to fly around. Having filled the outdoor feeders for the squirells and blue jays, I went back inside to throw out the trash. As a rule, they will disappear a lot of peanuts within an hour or two after sunrise. In this case, most of the feeders were still full at the end of the day, with only a small amount plucked from As I shrugged, I said, "Okay, guess today wasn't a good day for food". In the end, I decided to leave the uneaten product in the feeders in hopes that they may change their minds next morning. A repeat test was conducted the following day with the same outcomes. It seems I've run into the same problem regarding the infestation of bugs before (not from this seller). believe they are a type of moth. I do not remember the exact name of the bugs. There's a possibility that they are gypsy moths, but not certain. As a result of lessons from the past, I keep the large orders of shelled peanuts in my garage in tightly sealed containers whenever possible. These bugs don't care. If you receive a shipment in which they has already established themselves, they will multiply exponentially until you throw away all the peanuts. When I remembered these bugs from my past experience, I grabbed a trash bag and some Here are a few tips for when you put your infested peanuts in the trash. You should use a thick trash bag that you can tie When you dump your stock into the bag, it will be very dusty due to the deteriorated nuts and lots of stringy weblike junk created by the bugs. As soon as you agitate them in any way, they will start to fly around and become However, even if they are annoying, they don't sting or bite. The best way to minimize such a situation is to put the entire product in a bag as quickly as possible, spritz it with bug spray immediately, and then You should try to move the bag from the house if you can.
You should be prepared for some unpleasant side effects if you house your stock indoors and it is infested with these pest. As the number of them in your house grows, you'll begin to see more of them. I'll give you the real kicker here. You should check out your food stocks for any items that are dry grain based, such as pasta, cereal, etc. Throw them out as soon as possible. It is almost impossible for these guys not to get into sealed spaces. As soon as they get loose in your house, they'll lay their eggs in the smallest cracks and crevices in every room of your house, including cabinets and drawers. Pest control was aggressively used for a couple of months before I could get rid of these odorous There is no intent to poke fun at this vendor here. As I mentioned in the comment above, I have experienced this issue with orders placed with vendors who are not related to this one. The problem generally occurs in net type bags as opposed to plastic bags, in my experience.
Peanuts that look as if they were scraped from ground after they were cut have been harvested as an after-thought sometime after the main crop has been harvested. There are lots of dirty cracks in the shells as well as small sticks. In order to remove the bag from the house, I had to put it out on the porch after constantly noticing small insects travelling near it. It is a very poor quality product that I will never use.
There is a poor quality in this item. This peanut shell is very dirty and soiled, but the worst part is that it is swarming There have been approximately 30 moths so far, not one, not two. In addition to the exterminator bill, I also have a bill for carpet cleaning.
It was very hard to break the shells of some of the peanuts I bought (it was my first and last time I purchase peanuts) although I used them only to feed squirrels. The price was the same as nuts. com and I will return Although the bag (25#) was to be disposed of but was sold to me, I thought it was wrong!.
I observed a couple of small moths near the boxes later that night. As I proceeded to open one box and approximately five other boxes, The box got out of the box with six moths and there were about 15 of them. On the underside of the box flaps, there were 20 moth larvae. A flashlight was brought outside and I shined it in the opened box. I discovered that the windows were blown out. I found it to be completely infested with moth larvae and moths!.
I brought it outside again to see if they would fly away. After they flew outside, I sent them back into the bag. It turns out I had it Now I have moths in a large part of my sunroom and they can be found everywhere in my house. This has never happened before to me with any type of bird food, but take care! There is a real problem here.
As I read the other comments about the moths in the bag and the poor peanuts, I found myself in a similar position. The peanuts in my order were in perfect condition, no moths, and fresh. I would buy these again.
