It’s pumpkin decorating season.

PSA: DO NOT bleach your pumpkins to make them last longer!! I've seen this tip being shared all over social media this season and it stinks! Please remember pumpkins are food, especially to lots of the wildlife! Deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, mice, rats, chipmunks, birds, and even bugs. We deliberately stick them outside somewhere where wildlife can access them and we DO NOT want our wildlife eating bleached pumpkins!!! 🐿🥺🖤

Instead, try using vinegar. 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water will work just as well. Thanks! 🎃
