Hi Randy and all

Acetic acid is recommended here.  I found several times that wax  
moths do not attack brood supers stacked in the bee yard with 500ml  
(2 cups) of glacial acetic acid in a glass plate on top of the  
stack.  This year 5 boxes were still stacked in October with no wax  
moth damage even though the acetic had long since evaporated.   
Glacial acetic acid(100%) is available at camera stores  that  
specialize in developing supplies.
