Hi guys!
I am so glad that you like the Cherry Pit idea. I love them. Shipping is a bear, but worth it. LOL
I haven't had any problems with bugs. We have loads of bugs in Maryland - small, big, nice, not so nice, ugly and pretty - but nothing seems to be attracted to the pits. I've had my bag open for a couple of months now and the smell of cherry's is still strong but still, no bugs. :0)

Thank you for sharing your source for buying your cherry pits. They
say there bags can even go through the washer & dryer and they will
also hold the cold for up to an hour too. How very cool!
I've made similar bags from barley, rice, & pintos.
Do cherry pits never go bad or attract bugs? Never had bug problems
with mine but there arn't a lot of bugs in Alaska.
