zookeeper Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I just realized that my 25 lb bag of whole wheat pastry flour got left in the mud room instead of being put into the fridge. Now there's a mouse hole in the bottom of the bag. What should I do with it??:angry: Edited October 24, 2011 by zookeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwjx2khsmj Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'd throw it away and curse all the way to the trash and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Gone. In the trash. Immediately. But I would make my DH take care of it. And then I'd set traps up everywhere, mouse poison everywhere. If I ever saw evidence of mice in my house again I would move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 25lb bag? That's a large bag- I would doubt the mice could contaminate the whole thing from a small hole at the bottom. I would scoop out and use the top half of the bag. The rest I would mix a bit with water every few days and feed to my chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot about living out in the country that nobody warned me of before hand! I don't think dh would go for another move after moving to his dream home. What love will do, huh??

Melissa in Australia Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I had that happen to my 25 KG sack of flour. I thought at the start that I would skim the flour of the top, then I realised the mice had actually dug tunnels through the flour. I gave it to my ds15 to throw around a tree outside as mulch. When I looked out the window I saw ds15 & ds14 having the most marvelous flour fight ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS_ Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I didn't think of feeding it to the chickens! You can also use flour (or anything protein based) to fertilize your lawn. So although I wouldn't use the flour, I'd feed it to the chickens, or put it on the lawn or in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
