Use it if you can stand the smell-- You won't get any little bugs  !!
But I'd stir it real well first.  I have an outside planter-had petunias in it.
It was protected under the eaves and didn't get rain.  I wondered why there
was a 3 foot section that had plants twice as big as the others.  When I
began to check the soil--I knew by the smell who had been there.  My 3
cats found a dry toidy when it was rainy.  Figured that much would kill stuff
but it just fertilized it. 
Ammonia turns to nitrogen in the soil.  My dad was a farmer(and inventor-
for you farmers on the list, he invented the hydraulic header control on
combines, cotton and pea pickers).  He was the first in our county to
experiment with anhydrous ammonia on corn and soybeans.
