Will putting eggshells in my plant pots attract bugs or pests?

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

No, eggshells in plant pots generally don't attract bugs or pests. They are primarily calcium carbonate, a beneficial nutrient for plant growth. While they decompose slowly, they don't provide the food source or environment that typically draws in common garden pests. Any rare instances of insect presence would likely be due to other factors in your garden's ecosystem.
