Trichogramma 3 Squares/ 12,000 Eggs

TL;DR: Order Trichogramma eggs, they will eat the moth eggs, then die.Months and months ago, I received a bag of cockatiel seed that had little hanging strings of seeds caught in "web" inside it. Turns out it was Pantry Moth/Indianmeal Moth/Flour Moth pupae. Before I knew it, I had countless little brown moths flying around and gross white worms climbing the walls. They would eat my birds' food, grubs crawling through it, and they migrated into my cabinets to lay eggs in my flour, too.Of course I cleaned the cage with my hot steam cleaner, sprayed it with vinegar water and let it sit in the hot sun, then re-rinsed it. I bought pheromone glue traps, which caught HUNDREDS of moths, until there was no more glue surface to stick to. I bought blacklight bugzappers and left them on only at night when the birds were roosting in the cage, which drew the moths in and zapped them. But their eggs must've been in multiple places in the house, they kept coming back in full force.Then I discovered mail-order Trichogramma wasp eggs. Sounds scary! But no, when they hatch the "wasps" are MICRO, the size of pepper flakes, they do not look like the scary normal wasps we all know, and they LOVE to search out and EAT moth eggs! Once all the moth eggs are eaten, they die off because there is no more food. They do not bother you or the birds, and I've never even seen one.They come in a small sheet of paper coated in "pepper flakes" (their eggs). You can cut it up, I cut into three strips. I made a tiny "cage" (4"x4"x4") out of small-gauge chicken wire (too small for the birds to get into), and put one strip in that tiny cage and put it into the birds' main cage. I put one strip under the main bird cage but out of the birds' reach. And one strip under my kitchen cabinets.Apparently they hatched (never even saw them, they are so small), and over the course of two weeks there were fewer and fewer moths, and today is the first day there were zero. For anyone dealing with a stubborn pantry moth infestation, spend a few bucks and RELEASE THE WASPS!Followup 2 months later: Moths are gone! And before I tried the wasps, they were EVERYWHERE, with worms crawling on my walls and moths flying around. Before the wasps, I had even found worm casings deep inside boxesI thought were sealed, and inside seed treats that were covered. I kind of did two rounds of wasps, because I think at first only one strip hatched and that first round quickly and significantly reduced the moths. After a few weeks, a few moths came back, so I checked on two wasp egg strips and saw they hadn't hatched. I put them closer to warm lights, and within a week, I haven't seen any more moths. Miracle worker for me!

I ordered a few packs of these because we had a clothes moth issue and we had just located the source (a bag my partner brought home with him from travel, which was stored under our bed). We took the carpet out from the bedroom and trashed it and I thoroughly cleaned everywhere I could imagine any eggs/larvae to be, as well as put up hangers with the hormone traps all over the house, lavendar/cedar, etc.After reading horror stories of these things being impossible to rid your house of, I decided to go the extra mile and order some of these from this seller because, 1) I couldn't find them anywhere else in the US, and 2) other reviewers seemed to have success with these and clothes moths. They arrived within a few days and I set them under our bed, spread out, leaning against the supports. I wasn't sure if they were hatching, etc. - mainly, because I had no idea what to look for since they're sooooo tiny (a few had hatched in the white packaging en route and they're thankfully much smaller than expected) - until I really got under there and, lo and behold, there were a million black dots covering an area right up against our baseboards that I honestly couldn't even see were covered with larvae/eggs. I was so freaked out, I cloroxed and steamed + sprayed pesticide everywhere I saw the black spots and discovered that, yep, they were in our baseboard behind the bed. Talk about my worst nightmare.Either way, I immediately ordered more of these since it's likely I killed the good AND bad guys with my thorough cleaning, and probably will continue to treat throughout the year and once again in the spring and summer. THEY WORK. I rarely leave reviews, but GET THEM.Also, the instructions aren't suuuuuper clear, but I just cut open the white packages and set these close to where I wanted to target. I'd imagine they'd be easy to hang in a closet as well, but I just set them on the floor, leaning up against our bed's support posts under the bed.Thank you so much for providing these! A real life-saver that takes the guesswork out of trying to locate the problem and is very, very effective.
