  Hello, Olly Rabbit here, we had another leak here, it got sorted, but now Moths have come in and tried to take my water, every morning my Mummy finds 8-10 moths in my water dispenser, how can we stop them?
  
  Thank you from Olly Rabbit xx

  oh no! Poor Fluff ball – that is not something you want to share your water with.
  
  I know of two ways to make moth traps – both kill moths.
  The first method is simple. Place a small amount of the type of food the moths are after on plain, cheap sticky traps, and place them strategically.
  For the other trap, mix 1 part boric acid (Borax), which I can find in with the laundry detergent in my local grocery store, with 3 parts cornmeal. Glop the paste on jar lids and place strategically around stored foods.
  
  An old grandma’s wives tale is to put a big dish of soapy water bellow a light bulb… the light bulb attracts them, they end up falling in the soapy water and can’t get back out because of the soap.
  
  Good luck!

  Moths are attracted to light, so perhaps put a bright light source away from the water, or place to water somewhere darker?
