 At our Wal-Mart they have so many moths around the pet food isle  that they put moth repellant all over the isles.
I looked up moth repellant and this is what I got.
   
 
Pesticides: Germicides, Insecticides and Fungicides   


What Pesticides Are

Pesticides are products used to kill household pests. Pesticides can be an indoor air pollutant in many buildings because they are widely used to reduce many household pests, including those associated with indoor plants, pets, and wood and woolen products, and because they are tracked in from the outdoors. Pesticides used in and around the home include products to control insects (insecticides), termites (termiticides), rodents (rodenticides), fungi (fungicides), and germs (germicides or disinfectants). The suffix "-cide" means "killer" so care needs to be taken in using these products and instructions need to be carefully followed.

In 1990, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that some 79,000 children were involved in common household pesticide poisonings or exposures. In households with children under five years old, almost one-half stored at least one pesticide product within reach of children. Federal law requires that most hazardous household products include specific types of information about the product on their labels.

trudy glad your store is not the only one. I have noticed moths flying around Walmart and have had to shoo them away. Now they are putting out a poison to kill them off? Does any of this leach into the bags of food or treats once the air is being circulated in the store? How many people are breathing in this pesticide while in the store-is it permeating all areas thru the ventilation system?

That's the whole problem. Do they care what is going into the bags of pet food, and my lungs? It is a friend who works there that told Me what they do, after I told Her I kept bringing  home moths in my bags. Angry Angry
