 What you're supposed to do is put the critter crumbs in there, then poke holes in the bags, and then you hang the bag. I don't do that. I just scoop the critter crumbs out, and I just throw them around wherever I don't want critters getting in and bothering stuff. So all the plants that are in the ground in our landscaping, I'll sprinkle them around there. All Alex's potted plants, I'll throw some in there.
