Do these die when in the bag or are they still alive when you go to empty

Depends on how long you leave the bag up. They generally die within a day or two.

If you leave them in the bag for a while they will die. These bags work beautifully. My third year using them. First day there were already 30 or more beetles in the bag.

its kinda inhumane but...they are bugs. they die while in the bag, unless of course you choose to kill them.

They are quite alive when you empty them. I don't suggest spending any extra money on a model with a ziploc or "easy empty" bottom. Mine failed within a week of use and I had to resort to clipping the bag shut on the bottom. Plan on one season, toss, get new ones next year. The attractant works perfectly and instantly, it's unbelievable. I found the best way to dispose of the bugs was to freeze them and then toss them. If you just put them in a bag in your trash alive they will probably find a way out and infest your trashcan.

They die after being in the bag for a while but I don't know how long. When I would go to empty the bag, they would usually be mostly dead.

You should just keep them in the fridge. If you have a large amount, layer them with newspaper and small amounts of worm food. These people are very good no noticeable dead worms even when a few are expected.

I wish they did, but my experience is the ones that don't "go away" to die remain and can have quite a stink. My experience, however, is that most seem to go "out" and never come back. I believe that all of these baits work about the same. Spread the bait packets and then watch for new signs of the critters. Good luck.

I bought some at the end of last summer and again at Christmas time. My cats are still playing with them. Usually they will chew them before the can go stale. In regards to a bag... yes, they do come in an air sealed bag which you can continue to use for storage (once open no more vacuum seal). Your cat(s) will love these.

I'm pretty sure that is just for the pic. I bought the 22lb bag a couple months ago and they are great! I recommend using a vacuum bag sealer and then throwing them in the fridge to keep em good. As a whole, they are great. Every so often I get one that is dried out, but I don't believe hat has anything to do with expiration. When I run out I will buy more

My bag was resealable. I store them with the rest of my gardening supplies and I still have a few left after buying them a couple years ago. Just let them soak in water a while and they're good as the day you bought them.

As long as you keep the bag sealed when not in use they can be broken a little or easily sliced with a sharp knife - they are very small and need to stay hydrated.

They have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

I've had an opened one in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag for at least a month and a half and it still tastes the same as it did when I first opened it. The shelf life for the unopened packages are supposed to be 9 months. I've only had mine for about 2 but they still look just like they did when I got them.

We've had them four months and they've been fine---still fresh and crisp. Once I open a package, I keep it in a zip lock bag. We usually use it up within two weeks.

I keep them in an air tight container and they last for at least a couple of months. They lose a little bit of moisture but all in all, they are still good! I bought mine in early December and they are still good today!

They sometimes come out in the open to die... But it depends sometimes they die in the hole. You can buy rat sorb if you smell the odor of dead mouse and soak it on a Cotton ball and put it in the hole or the area of the smell

I dont know the shelf life of an un opened bag. I go through the 4 pounds about every 4 months and even the last one opened seems fresh as the first one. I have not had a problem with spoilage. They are dry seeds, dont see any need for refrigeration.

They start dying within hours. The ones that touch your dog. The othet ones that are still in your home will be alive, so you have to do this shot a few months

They don't die. My small battery #29312 last me 2 times for my yard I guess 45 minutes and the large battery #29322 has been going since April, I guess over 2 hours. Actually they have never died only got down to the last green charge indicator light.

mines died too. i had them in a closed terrarium perhaps they needed more fresh air.

I wondered that too. So far I haven't lost any. If that happens, I figured I would just use one of the empty ones. Right now I am away from home for the weekend and I just grabbed the containers for those days and threw them in my bag. Very handy.
