Moths!

[Lottie87]

Advice please! Our flat is suddenly full of moths. Luckily we are moving in a few weeks but does anyone know how we can firstly get rid of them in the flat, then prevent taking any 'infestation' with us in our boxes? I don't want to use any toxic sprays if I can avoid it.

Thanks!

You can put things in the freezer for 72 hours.

Pheromone traps, buy online. I think Forumite Sue had good info on this. Do a search in the Lounge.

Pheromonal traps from SMBS, about ?7 each. They are very effective, we caught about 100 moths on each trap last year (yeuch!) Our moth problem is substantially lower this year after blitzing the house with these traps last year.

They are made by Mottlock, link to product below.

The pheremone traps are brilliant. We've caught 50 so far in the last month since putting them out so hopefully we're getting rid of our moth problem

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll get a couple of traps and keep some aside for the new place.

Those moth traps do work. Some of the health shops sell similar eco friendly ones ..... Not sure what the difference was!

I got the pheromone moth traps from Amazon
