Cling Film et al

[Millet]

I might do a 10mile run the night after eating a vindaloo and place my undercrackers on top of the frames, if that does not deter wax moth nothing will..

The adult moths might struggle but the larvae don't have a problem with eating plastic....seen as a potential answer to our polyethylene mountain.
Looks like cling film just provides more food for them...

Footnote...it's the rarer greater wax moth's larvae...so most will be safe with their wrapped wet supers.

Very interesting, learn something new each day.
It does however suggest the op had larvae already in the stored supers as cling film is not , I assume attractive to adult moths. I will ask an entomologist friend, give him something to mull over if nothing else!

It's always good for getting the coal fire going quick when winter hits us..

Not good practice. Some films (still) contain PVC. Burning PVC produces dioxins. Nothing more carcinogenic than dioxins.

Yes I think I would avoid burning too for this reason. Other toxic fumes containing chlorine are also likely (eg HCl, Cl2O).
