Ack! Moth invasion! YUCK!

Hi there,

I know Spyrosmom is being attacked by skeetos, so I guess our prob is not quite as bad. For some reason we are being absoultely invaded by moths this year!! Not sure why!! I was power washing the pollen off of the front patio and the side of the house and this swarm of moths came out of the woodwork, literally!!!! They are all over inside and outside and just totally grossing me and my son out!!! (pretend those are throw-up faces!)

Does anybody have any ideas how to get rid of these creeps??

Thanks!
Pam

Feed 'em to the skeeters?

Great idea, Nan!! I'll ship them off to Chicagoland, your skeeter pals would die here from lack of humidity!!

My mom always taught me that moths inside the house meant good luck. Not sure why... but because of that I never developed a skeeve-reaction to the moths. I like them. My old cat also used to chase them around - even in his last few weeks when he wasn't motivated to do anything, he'd go after the moths. So they give me happy memories .

Not that it helps you one bit with your situation! Vacuuming them up is the easy way to get them, I think. And since they love the light/warmth, if you leave one bright light on while keeping the rest of the house dim, they should congregate to that spot.

Good luck. Colorado is something with the creatures, isn't it?
