There is a special type of moth that lives in the kitchen and "claims" our food products.

Sometimes, due to the activity of the pest, you have to part with impressive reserves of cereals, thereby losing the money spent.

But even this is not enough to completely get rid of the problem. Therefore, it is worth knowing the right method of getting rid of moths.

What needs to be done for this?

It is extremely important to inspect bulk food products. Even if you do not notice any pests, it is better to put the food in the microwave. It is worth heating the products for 10 minutes at a high temperature. Some housewives instead put cereals in the freezer for 72 hours.

These actions are necessary to destroy the insect larvae. It is also recommended to change the storage containers to glass containers with tight-fitting lids.

All cabinets should be treated with a special solution. To do this, dissolve a spoonful of soda or a little soap in water and thoroughly treat all surfaces.

Then place the vinegar in a spray bottle and apply it to the surfaces you can't wash.

Wait a few hours and use the cabinets again for their intended purpose.
