Default Re: Flummoxed by the pantry moth

I was wrong it was clothes moths traps I used on the floor but they did catch moths. The pheromone traps for pantry moths didn't work but these caught quite a few. It says they are child and pet safe (the sticky stuff is inside the triangle shape) but I would still think a hamster would try and get in there! I seem to remember I had them on the floor near the cage but would take them up in the evening and put them on a shelf (when the hamster was out).

After the pantry moth pheromone traps did nothing, I photographed a few to try and identify them. Some of them were standard brown moths and some more like Indian meal moths (but there were a heck of a lot!). Gradually, with the traps it got less and less (and some squishing and hoovering).

I can imagine you'd want to go and live in Scotland! Quite fancy it myself. We're not too far from the border here really. "Almost" Scotland.
