Please download the environmental impact report for this product, whose manufacturer is conveniently no longer in business 😳. It is noted to be extremely toxic to all aquatic plants and animals, as well as insects, and it caused "a statistically significant increase of lung and liver tumors" in mice who were exposed.

🎃Pumpkin Carving Tips🎃
1. Cut the bottom off instead of the top.
2. Use a hand mixer to get the guts out fast.
3. Use a dry erase marker to draw a face (easy to erase after).
4. Put vaseline around the openings so it stays moist.
5. Sprinkle cayenne pepper inside so critters stay away.

HAPPY CARVING🎃

This is the life cycle of a squash beetle. They love to eat the leaves, vines, and even the fruit of your concurbits. I normally plant nasturiums nearby to repel these guys, but this year I didnt. A quick flick into a bowl to feed to chickens or squish on the vine does the trick as pesticides are not an option!
