Is the mole afraid of frost and cold

Moth is exposed to many factors, preparations and aromas, so we can safely say that the moth is afraid of a lot. Moth is afraid of frost, it is scared away by many different smells, it does not tolerate high temperatures, dies from exposure to chemical pesticides. This is convenient to use if necessary to get rid of moths.

You should be aware that preventive measures will not save you from the products brought into the apartment or on the person’s clothes to the apartment. Caterpillars, in this case, have nowhere to go and they have to develop new territories. According to practice, the descendants of insects forced to live with regular treatment with chemicals or folk flavors are more resistant to them. In such situations, resort to climate assistance. To find out at what temperature the mole dies, just read the information below.

Moth is afraid of the cold and too high temperatures - this should be used when moth control.

To defeat a moth, it is necessary to direct efforts to destroy its larvae, which causes more damage to products and things (depending on the type of moth). Regularly cabinets and cabinets require inspection, cleaning and drying. This is especially true at the beginning of the warm season. When mechanically cleaning haberdashery, eggs from things simply fall, because they do not fasten in any way. After purification, all things should be laid out or hung in the sun, which the moth larvae cannot tolerate. Warming up in the sun to 53 degrees, the larvae die in just 15 minutes. If the sun is still not so hot and the larvae will feel only 43 degrees - they will die by the end of half an hour. This method is good for the southern regions of Russia and Central Asia, where the temperature in the sun often reaches such levels.

Knowing at what temperature moth larvae die, they can be placed in such conditions created artificially. So, you can destroy the fur moth by heating the air to 55 degrees. In such conditions, things should be at least 24 hours. If the temperature reaches 77-80 degrees, then an hour is enough.

Moth eggs die at a temperature slightly higher, so things can be boiled to get rid of them. If this is not possible, furniture should be installed in air chambers, fabrics are recommended to be placed in steam-formalin disinfection chambers. Air should be warmed up to 71-77 degrees.

Since the larvae of the moth die, their eggs and butterflies themselves, not only from the heat, but also from the cold, this can be used.

Important! Air temperatures up to -3 will not kill a mole. Experts recommend arranging an insect with a contrasting temperature air "shower", placing it in the cold or exposing it to +10 air. After several “jumps”, it is necessary to place the products in a chamber with a constant temperature of -5 degrees, where the remaining moth larvae will die.

In winter, getting rid of moths is easy. This is especially true for residents of the northern regions in the winter. The air temperature during this period is quite low (below -20, or even -30 degrees), therefore, to destroy moths, it is necessary to take things or products to the open balcony. Only a few hours (depending on the density of the material of the product and the rate of penetration of cold air into the thickness) the mole will die and things can be used.

Knowing whether a moth is afraid of frost and the sun, getting rid of these small pests will not be difficult at all.to use it, you need only one effective tool - a free resource: climate.
