Sorry to hear this. Here are some tips on how to deal with them:<br /><br />1. REMOVE - Remove your food from the affected drawers or cupboards and vacuum really thoroughly paying attention to edges, cracks and crevices inside and out.<br /><br />2. CLEAN - Thoroughly clean all surfaces that may be affected and leave to dry. Discard any infested foodstuffs away from your house.<br /><br />3. KILL - Spray the affected storage unit to kill any eggs and / or larvae <br /><br />4. MONITOR / PREVENT - Place moth traps close to affected areas to monitor for adult moths and to break the breeding cycle<br /><br />5. REFRESH - Keep moth traps current and replace every 3 months – please remember, with warmer houses food moth damage and infestations are now a year-round problem, and moth prevention is better than cure.<br /><br />There is a great new site, MothPrevention.com http://www.mothprevention.com which has loads of good advice and a great range of products. Hope this helps...NikkiBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341658318892442848noreply@blogger.com
