How To Get Rid Of Moths!!

[Blancaej]

So I recently had a major issue with moths at my house that ultimately ended up at my candy shop! So I had to go to war with these evil critters! Cause we can't have moths attacking my candy! They messed with the wrong food source!

JerseyWendy had asked me what I had done to get rid of them so I decided to write a blog post on how I combated these nasty pests!

Feel free to comment with your own tips if you like! But the following steps I took seems to be working! I hope it can help anyone else with this issue!

LOL! I've become a professional moth hunter! So yeah, I've gotten good at smacking them down, too!

Great job Blanca!! Had no idea their breeding habits put rabbits to shame!

Some parronts freeze their stock of seeds/pellets/nuts once purchased, but I wonder if the eggs survive the cold temperatures?

Thanks Scott! I had no idea either! Crazy huh?!

Freezing is supposed to help. But many sites I read say you have to do it for 10 days at least. Some only a week. So I would say at least 10 days if not longer. Also I did read one site that suggested a week, then remove from freezer for a week and put back in for another week! So I guess it may be a trial and error thing.

I chose not to freeze anything and just threw out anything I suspected may be infested. Just to be safe!
