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.

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.

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. 

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.
