Well, that certainly doesn't make them any more pleasant to find around the house. Though I suppose it a hell of a way to keep the nest clean...reuse and recycle the refuse.
I once audited two semesters of a course on Urban Pest Management, and this was never mentioned. I feel so used.

In France, it is illegal for grocers to simply throw out unsold food. They must either donate it to a charitable organization or sell it to any of various facilities for processing into compost or animal feed.
