A beekeeper I know has a freezer dedicated to waxmoth control!  He fills it with supers of empty comb which are frozen for a few days. This kills off the moths and their offspring. He then removes the supers and wraps them in plastic refuse sacks to prevent re-infestation during storage. Then he re-loads the freezer with the next batch.

It works for him.
