I used to always freeze my bird food because I had a problem with the stupid corn moths before. But then I decided to store the bird food in what I thought were air tight containers…. Stupid me. Now I have a corn moth issue (also known as meal moths, pantry moths, etc) again.

I was concerned about constantly freezing the food because freezing takes thiamin out of the food, I don’t know how other vitamins are affected by freezing but I know thiamin is. I am not even sure birds need thiamin. But I was worried about it.

Now I have the moth situation in full force, moths flying around, larvae crawling around…. this is disgusting. I have since thrown all the seed based food into the freezer. Do I need to worry about the pellet food too?

Do you freeze your food or do something else to control this? Anyone had this problem? Any pointers on how to deal with this? I remember it was a pain the last time and took forever to get them to be gone.
I only buy organically grown seed products, from my local feed store, so they are not treated with pesticides. Maybe I should start vacuum sealing or buying the mass produced vacuum sealed foods?
