25 year shelf life and packaging is high quality and highly reliable. I tried the food. It is very nice balanced.

Stored properly, they should be viable for two years for sure, perhaps three. If you just leave them in a cupboard, I'd guess 8 months. If you are looking for doomsday storage, there is proper equipment for long-term seed storage, but I know nothing about that.

My container doesnt expire until 6-16. As for refrigerating, I'm not sure about that. It says to avoid moisture and store below 77 degrees. I have mine in a cool dark place in my pantry. If you do want to refrigerate it, I would be sure to double wrap it or something.

Hi Neal, I have had mine for over two years (purchase 1-28-2012) and it seems to be going strong and continues to work great. I keep mine in the basement where it is not too cold and not too hot. This is something I may scrap after five years if not within the given temperature limits. I am down to a single tube, so this will get the house through another year. I found a tube I had accidentally found in the garage through the winter and summer would become a little watery instead of gel form as if it was becoming separated, so keep it in a good location. Here is a link to Bayer's website for MSDS information: http://www.backedbybayer.com/pest-management/baits/maxforce-fc-professional-insect-control-ant-killer-bait-gel/msds Nothing is listed for a shelf life for that link, but there is a contact link that they may be able to answer most accurately.

It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place. I've never refrigerated it. The jar I just received has a two year pull date; copy on the label says to use within two years of opening.

expiration is Nov.2015 but most everyone knows,if something is sealed properly,kept in a cool dark place,they can last for several yrs. Hope this helps. These jars are sealed tightly,keep them out of the light,& temps for storage should be between 40-60 degrees. I prefer 45 degrees for my storage.

The box says store in a dry place at 73 degrees or below. Right next to that it says best if refrigerated. I have not refrigerated mine, just kept them in the cabinet and I have had no problem.

I stored one in my home in the box for about 1 month and it was just fine. It is wrapped in plastic and I would think that if you keep it in a dry environment it would be ok. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure bc I have only had mine for a few weeks. I do know that it is good for a very long time AS LONG as you keep it stored in a cool dry dark place.

If at all possible I'd put this into the frig. The shelf life should be indefinite. Failing that? It' a dry powder but your guess is as good as anybody else's.

I keep mine in the pantry, and it should last at least 6 months well sealed and in a cool spot.

Since attics tend to have extreme temperature fluctuations, I would advise not to. Should store in cool dry temperature surroundings, such as on a shelf in a hall or bedroom closet. But this is just my advice.

I had them in a dark pantry for 4 months not refrigerated and they were just fine. I would think they would keep indefinitely in the refrigerator.

The shelf life is, from my understanding, forever as long as you keep the moisture out of it. It takes me about 6 mts to take it but I keep it in a dark cool dry place. I put what I use in one container and keep the rest put up until I run out of what I am using from.

We used it right away so can't tell you about shelf life. I suggest contacting the company. Sorry.

Oxygen does gradually cause LOS to lose its potency so I keep mine tightly closed and inside a ziplock plastic bag. I don't know what the shelf life is supposed to be, but I have had my jar for at least 6 months, and it is still good.

If packed in glass jars, a year or so. I've packed mine in glass jars with an oxygen absorber. It seals itself and I've heard that by doing that, the shelf life can be about 5 years.
