Mouse got into my spawn bag!
    #17331524 - 12/04/12 08:53 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

Ok, so i'm new to cultivation... done a LOT of research and read a lot about this stuff.  A few weeks ago I decided to get some spawn bags from midwestgrowkits (I live with an unaproving roomate so i couldnt exactly swing pf tek for my first time as it requires a lot more material and the use of the kitchen!

Anyways, I inoculated both bags last week and had them at about 75F since. I had extremely fast growth until last night when i went to check the bags after work and noticed a fucking mouse had gotten into one of the bags right at the neoprene injector port.  It ate some of my grain and it was starting to dry out.

The bag was about 15% colonized, so in a rush, I (to the best of my ability with out a PC) sterilized a ziplock and put a filter on it and transferred the uncolonized material to it and reinoculated with the leftover spore solution.  The stuff that was already colonized, I moved straight to a fruiting chamber (a chunk about the size of a softball).

On top of that, I got about 4 sticky mouse traps and put them around the bags thinking that would do the trick.  Only to wake up this morning and see that the little fuckers had gotten into the number two bag from midwest! Its a very small hole so i just taped it up and ended up putting it in a Rubbermaid tub to keep the rodents out... guess I should have done that from the beginning.

My question is: are these bags junk? they do NOT have any signs of contamination thus far and the little assholes didn't take very much grain at all.  Should i just wait and see? Any help would be great! Thanks!

The bags are shit for you yes, you have mice, jars would be harder for them little fuckers to get into.

Rat trap + peanut butter.

Those little bastards really do love peanut butter. I've kept mice/rats as pets throughout my life. 'Hunted' the wild ones in my house too.. Nothing ever worked to get them to the trap until I baited it with just plain peanut butter. Within an hour 2 traps went off.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Toss them for sure.
Any compromise on your grain spawn and you want to throw it out.

Get a cat :lol:
I've got a few and they've been known to present me and the wife with dead mice they've captured from around our old-ass house.
