milworm breaders help!!

[Jeff Turnage]

I have been breading mealworms for about an year .I have not had a problem until now.
I have found that I have small moths in the breading beds , they have been making webs in the oatmeal and I have
found small larva in them. I need to know how to get rid of them. My mealworm growth has falling.
Help me save my colony please.

Remove all the mealworms, change out the oatmeal, and scrub down your breeding bins.
Those moths lay their eggs in oatmeal and other cereals, so you will need to purchase completely new oatmeal. Once the oatmeal is changed out and the bin is scrubbed, you can put your mealworms back into the bin.
