07.01.2022 Get Rid of Pantry Moths, Your Free Self Help Tip, Try this one. Macquarie Pest Control Newcastle & Lake Macquarie Ph: 02 49453950 ... Look for adult moths or larvae. Adult moths are generally gray with hints of either red or white coloring, and they measure roughly 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) long. Larvae are about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) long and look like worms with five pairs of legs. The easiest way to spot a pantry moth problem is to actually see an adult moth flying around your pantry. This usually happens at night rather than during the day. If you suspect that you may have a pantry moth infestation, check all the dry food in your pantry. Moths hide out in flour, cereal, rice, and other grains most often, but you should also check pet food, dried fruit, or any other dry food products. In short, check everything. Examine the corners and edges of the cupboards and pantry, as well. Throw away infested food. Any food that shows clear signs of contamination should be discarded. If an open bag of grains or dry food does not appear to be infested, but you still have concerns, you can either discard the food or place it in the freezer for a week. The cold temperatures will kill any moth eggs that you cannot detect with the naked eye. Note, however, that you should not do this if you can spot larvae or adult pantry moths. Scrub the pantry with soap and hot water. Use a dish towel or sponge to wash the walls, floors, doors, and shelves of the pantry or cupboard. Make sure that you get the door hinges and door jamb, as these spots are the most common hiding places for larvae. You should also scrub beneath any shelving liners or interior racks. Scrub everything down with vinegar. A safe way to sanitize the space and deter the moths from returning is to wipe down all the surfaces of the pantry with white vinegar. If you do not want to wipe down the entire pantry or cabinet, you should at least scrub any area that was infested with moths or larvae. Scrub any infested food containers with white vinegar, as well. Certain essential oils, including peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus, and tea tree oils, can strengthen the effect. Add a few drops of oil to a spray bottle filled with vinegar and spritz the surfaces before scrubbing them. Place bay leaves in your pantry. Scatter bay leaves throughout the pantry and inside susceptible food containers. Place bay leaves in the corners of your pantry or cupboard. You can also tape them to the walls or the undersides of your shelves. Add a bay leaf directly to your canister of flour, rice, or other dry food. It should not affect the quality of the food, but if you would rather not chance it, you could tape the bay leaf to the inside of the lid and still achieve the desired effect. Note that there is no definitive scientific evidence to support this practice, but there is no definitive proof to discredit it, either. It may only be a "folk remedy," but it is one that many seem to agree on.

02.01.2022 Did you know: Feral cats live, hunt and reproduce in the wild. They have the body shape, acute senses and fine coordination perfectly suited for stalking and capturing prey. These traits have allowed feral cats to adapt to some of Australia's harshest conditions and invade almost all parts of the continent. Cats probably arrived in Australia as pets of European settlers and were later deliberately introduced in an attempt to control rabbits and rodents. Cats now occupy 99% of... Australia, including many offshore islands. Feral cats need large amounts of fresh meat to survive and reproduce. In Australia they mainly eat small native and exotic mammals, birds, lizards and insects. About 80 endangered and threatened species are at risk from feral cat predation in Australia. feral cats also carry diseases which can affect humans and other animals.
