Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the moths that come in the bags of bird seed. Unfortunately, I feed with seed rather than pellets, and I am finding more and more moths flying around. I have purchased the seed moth traps, but they don't seem to be working.
I could really use some help with some ideas of what I can do about them.

Re: seed moths
Ha Ha Ha! I use moth traps that are laced with female pheromones. The males get attracted to the sent and get caught--it's a sticky trap. I also vacuum 2 times a day and keep my seeds stored in the refrigerator to avoid any caterpillars. Make sure to get seed in smaller quantities as this makes storage easy too.
Hope this helps

Re: seed moths
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try with the next bag of food I buy. I bought more moth traps too. Wendy
