Not really, see below.

Hi Fernando,

Actually I've this is on sale at garden centers and I imagine
that it would have to be sterilized or treated in some way or it
would rot in the bottle. I'd rather just practice my aim with my
pellet gun on the squirrels who dig up my beloved Sarracenia! If
they don't get hit in the head and die, they don't suffer more than
a good bruise and so they learn not to come back. I placed chicken
wire around my smaller plants like Drosera, Pinguicula, VFT and
seedling Sarracenia. Barry's plants are in there too because the
squirrels seem to like digging up newer plants. I guess they smell
more interesting than the those they have already dug up.
