Anyone got any suggestions for keeping moths (small) out of the house, I'm getting inundated with them.

I've got 2 pantry moth traps on the go, and they are getting plenty of males(?). I've eucalyptus soaked cotton wool in he pantry, and so that is still clear of females at the moment. However, the ruddy things are driving us crazy, we have them day and night. I'm spraying so much fly spray, that the air is becoming toxic.

So back to the original question. Does anyone have any solutions to keeping them out of the house, in the first place.

Spray all your outside flyscreens and light covers with a surface spray.

Put yellow globes in your exterior lights.

Thanks Bob. The surface spray is an excellent suggestion, and I'll do that tomorrow.

We don't use our exterior lights much, so they are not an issue, besides which, this is also a daytime problem.
