What are food moths ?

Food moths are small flying insects that can become real invaders in our kitchens. Also known as food moths, they belong to the Pyralidae family and are attracted to a variety of stored foods, such as cereals, flour, dried fruit, nuts, spices and even chocolate. Food moths can become a source of frustration in our kitchens by contaminating our food and causing economic losses. By adopting simple preventive measures and acting quickly in the event of an infestation, you can keep your kitchen clean and free from these unwanted pests.

 

Food moths in your home ?

The food moth is a small butterfly measuring around 2 cm. You can spot them if you see them flying around as soon as you open a packet of flour, semolina or pulses. Female food moths lay their eggs directly in the packets. The caterpillars of the food moth produce silky threads that make the food unfit for consumption.

At this stage, you will need to throw out contaminated food. You can protect yourself by repackaging your food in airtight tins, jars or vacuum bags. Once the invasion has been declared, insecticide treatment is advisable. We offer several natural products to combat food moths: pyrethrum-based liquid insecticides, aerosols, sachets, traps and fumigants. Any means is good for eradicating this insect, which can really infest our food supplies.

 

Why use natural insecticides ?

Getting rid of food moths is one thing, but wouldn't it be even better if you could also protect your health and the environment ? Did you know that some particles of conventional insecticides remain in your treated rooms for several months? Fumigants are the worst because the particles fall back onto all the objects, textiles and surfaces in the room. Unless you wash each item thoroughly, you'll inevitably end up with chemical substances. Opting for natural insecticides will not only get rid of food moths, but also, thanks to the composition of our products and their low persistence, ensure that you can continue to live in a healthy environment.

Presentation of the sachets

La mite alimentaire - Ephestia kuehniella

Have food moths made an appearance in your kitchen or food stores ? This little moth is similar to the clothes moth, but feeds on the food in your kitchen cupboards : flour, pasta, sugar, cereals, chocolate, etc. They can quickly do damage by laying eggs and therefore contaminating your food.

The best way is to discourage them from coming near your food. Our food moth proofing bags have been designed for this purpose.

These moth repellent sachets are made of corn-based granules, in which an insecticide-repellent has been "trapped", all impregnated with essential oil of noble laurel, a smell they hate above all else. 

This natural repellent is very easy to use and handle. It will find its place in every cupboard to fight against food moths. It can be used as a preventive measure to create an olfactory barrier and thus protect your foodstuffs by keeping adult moths at bay.

How to use these sachets ?

As they act by "diffusion", we recommend that you distribute the sachets evenly in the volume(s) to be protected.

They can be placed near your foodstuffs (this is even recommended), on shelves, in cupboards or drawers (for spices for example!).

How many sachets should you use ? 1 sachet for a small cupboard, 3 for a medium cupboard and 5 for a large cupboard.

How long do the sachets work ?

The impregnation on the granules allows the smell to be diffused for several weeks. Over time, the smell will become less and less pronounced. If you no longer smell the odour, you should know that the moths can still smell it. Finally, keep in mind that the higher the temperature of the room in which the bags are placed, the more the granules will dry out and thus lose their diffusing power. 

What else needs to be done ?

While placing repellent bags in your cupboards is an excellent solution to discourage them from going near them, it is also essential to ensure that no crumbs are left lying around, or even that your food packages are left open. We recommend isolating your foodstuffs as much as possible in airtight jars and regularly cleaning them (vacuuming + disinfecting) to prevent them from having the pleasure of settling in.

1% margosa extract (CAS: 84696-25-3) and perfumed with laurel essential oil. Product class: TP19, insect repellent.

Packaging

10 packets of 10 g porous paper sachets packed in a sealed aluminium bag.
