Wax moth in bee hive

[Cozy439]

Based on pictures I saw online, I think I have wax moths in one of my hives. I am pretty new at this and never dealt with this yet. Some chemicals are listed for use but other sources recommend just freezing the frames (and/or supers). Anyone dealt with this before? Any suggestions?

I am new to beekeeping as well. I haven't had this issue, but have read that extraction supers can be treated with paradichlorobenzene (PBD). Depending on how bad it is I have also heard you can move the affected frames into a stronger hive that can manage them. I'll definitely be following to see what more experienced people recommend.
