Moth problem, help please!

Insanties_birth · 11 Apr 2011 at 23:00

My girlfriend seems to have got a moth problem in her house. 10 were killed and the next day 5 more were found, keeps finding more each day too

We don't know where they're coming from so any ideas on what is the best way to get rid of them? Would appreciate any help and so far just considering getting a spray / traps but wondering if there are any particularly good ones or easy ways to get rid of the problem without replacing carpets etc. Please help

get a bug zapper like in the takeaway, i got one for £3 from bmh. fries them mwah

Forgot about zappers lol, suppose they might work and moths are attracted to light and it'll definitely kill them.

So far I've bought these to try and help her, bought them just now I mean so I've not had time to see how effective they are.

If I bought a moth spray and we just sprayed around the windows do you think that would scare the odd one away too? also spray in the wardrobe corners and whatever.

I hate moths and butterflies. Flies and wasps I have no problem with. They seem to have their **** together and know where they're going. Trying to dodge a moth or butterfly is like that awkward situation when you're walking down the street and try to move out of the way of someone and step to the same side as them, then step again to the other side together. I'm sure they'd make great teaching utensils for boxers learning to duck and weave as well.

Hateful things.

lol speaking of butterflies, I was walking home a few days ago and I saw one chasing the hell out of a bee. First time I've seen butterflies kick ass.

Cat would have been a great solution but her dad is allergic so he won't let her have them unfortunately.

Does your computer have UV cathodes OP? If so, just use those and turn your case fans up to full whilst electrifying your fan grills

She uses an acer aspire laptop, forgot what kind but something like a 6970g (except it won't be that number because that's one of ati's graphics cards I got stuck in my head :rolleyes:

) but it's a laptop so no idea.

This shows moths on it so might work
