Yes but i hadn't emptied the hoover bag and vacuumed up substrate, food etc so some would have hatched by now but found nothing crawling around or in the discarded substrate in the green bin. Looks like i caught it in time alright.

I freeze dried grass/hay but now wonder if i'd need to freeze millet sprays and hamster herbs as well or is it mainly the food the moths eggs come in?

Another problem was the lack of house spiders for natural pest control last autumn. I think i saw one and i called it Eric.
