Moths


Moths can be found in a variety of stored products, including foodstuffs and textiles. It is the larvae that cause such considerable damage to stored goods by feeding or contamination with 'webbing' and 'frass'. The adults do not normally cause damage. Where possible store food in sealed glass containers. Control is best achieved through good hygiene, pheremone traps, sprays and dusts.

Question

Q.
What over the counter pest control can be used for clothes moths?

A.

It depends on whether or not you are happy to use insecticides in the house.

For a non-toxic route use something like Oa2ki Trigger Spray or Concentrate (depending on the size of area to be treated) and either Oa2ki Powder or Agrodust in cracks and crevices, under carpets etc.

For an insecticidal solution, use something like Cyperbug Insect Spray and Residex P in cracks and crevices.

For monitoring the results, try the non-toxic Clothes Moth Traps which will attract and trap any mobile moths.
