I bought the little tubes of pheromone last year and did not use them all. I kept them in a zip lock in the fridge all winter or really about 8 months. They still have the smell to them and I can see the liquid in them. I guess my question is do you think it lost its potency should I by more?

Bjornbee can tell you best. He makes and sells it.

You are good to go Keith. I keep mine in the fridge as well, when some of the liquid has evaporated you could add more lemongrass to the vial, will last for several yrs.

Thanks rast.
As long as they are in the fridge (freezer is better) they will keep for a couple years. The worst thing you can do is keep them where sunlight and heat will quickly degrade the lures.
