And breed very quickly. Freezing for a week kills the moth eggs.
After a week I take the bag out, wait till it's defrosted and then store it in a lock and lock airtight box (belt and braces! In case any eggs survived). Sometimes though I will get two bags and leave one in the freezer for some time and only take it out when the storage box needs refilling. Up to you really  |
Moth outbreak sounds like a nightmare! Poor you!!! I have just bought Hesper her second bag of food and was going to start the transition from one brand to another but I have a freezer due to be delivered any day now so I think I'm going to hold out.
Ewww!!! So glad I read this! Nice one Serendipity!
