You can get seriously sick with all of this decaying matter (dog food) and such; be sure to wash your hands whenever dealing with this. I've done something like this before, it worked out well ('cept for the smell )

You can attract them to a diffrent area of your garden by doing this.

Get an old plastic pot and fill it will hay or straw

Then pour honey into the hay until it sinks in

Stab a 3ft wooden post into the soil and put the pot upside down on the post

You should end up with something like this

Keep this on the otherside of the garden away from the cats.

After a week or 2 you should find some earwigs have nestled in there

It should look like this

they have turned the dog food into gooey, slimy soup

look at them movin around in there

a little spilled so i snapped a pic:

so bad news

a raccoon destroyed the net cage i had my adult blue bottles in and ate all the dog food in there, it didnt eat this cr@p but it tried to

grr i'm gonna have to put rat poison in some dog food and leave it out for the raccoon and teach it not to mess with me :devil:
