Any with seeds particularly oily seeds are a definite rodent attractant and
should be watched closely the first few weeks for signs of visitors.

Hello Pest-listers –
My Design department is interested in using bundles of dried/preserved flowers
in an upcoming exhibition. Does anyone know or have experience with these
being food or attractants for pests? They’re obviously potential harborage,
but I’m less concerned about that.

Thank you in advance for thoughts and comments.
