Default Does Powerbait attract insect to your house ?

After my recent trip the plastics in my tacklebox smells like fish oil or shrimp paste, from the Berkeley powerbait I used on them. I am sure this happens to a lot of you. Does anyone have experience storing these in the garage/basement and has it attracted insects or even rodents? If I were a hungry rat I think I will be tempted for sure considering how much it smells like rotten seafood.

I've used Powerbait and GULP longer than I can remember, leave it in the packs they come in and never had a problem with pests getting into it. My boxes stay in the house over winter and in the boat all summer, I'm on an acreage and get quite a few bugs and mice in the house that could get to the tacklebox but never have.

Default be very careful

That stuff should have a warning sticker on it if you accidently drop that stuff on your bosses chair just before you quit he's never going to forget you.

Some employees leave behind a stench that is hard to get rid of.
