Hi all,
I had these moth in food you would not nessecary expect them like
dried herbs (thyme etc.) and dried fruit tea and they are very clever
to get into any container even the ones with a lid screwed on. I try to
use glas containers with rubber band to seal them, the ones you use
to store cooked fruits in.
I also do freeze my dried food once in a while to kill them ( like the
herbs) and I also heat flower and the like in the oven for half an hour
over 80 degree C. I also use phreomone traps.
And still I have these tiny critters. Just a pain!!!
