Moth problem, help please!

If I bought a moth spray and we just sprayed around the windows do you think that would scare the odd one away too? Or are they better used just directly spraying them?

Get a kitten. Turn on a light pointing at a corner of the room at floor level and sit back and watch the carnage!

Buy a fishing net and try to catch em!

On a serious note moths scare the crap out of me 2, i got locked out by my parents one day after returning from school and decided to jump the back fence to see if they were in. Gate must have been about five feet/six feet high.I climbed up onto the fence and got a grip of the otherside to catch my balence, i felt something warm on my hand and when i landed on the other side i looked at my hand to see a squashed moth looking back at me its blood and guts all over my hand.

Never been the same since.

Get a cat

. They love to catch and eat them.

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

Electrifying light maybe? Fun to watch

+1 for zappy UV thingy.
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

Anyway thanks for the several suggestions and jokes guys, I don't mind if you have a laugh so long as we try and get ideas down too but you have been helpful.

you need to keep windows closed + lights off, or if u have double glazed u can open them 1cm and lock it with the handle.
i was spraying moths with fly spray and its like they are immune to it, have to spray um for ages and ages.
