Hey Does anyone else get Miller moths about this time of year? Every spring they invade the house like locusts. They make a nasty mess when you swat them so there are traps everywhere. I sealed up every possible entrance but the little ******** still get in. I have trained both the puppy and 2 kitties to eat them but still end up chasing them around with a vacuum.

I'm sure it's quite a sight. How do you get rid of those things? Move the chooks in?

We had them super bad in the house last year, our first year here, so I am expecting it again. I have no clue how they get in, but I run around all day sucking them up in the vacuum as well. We're going to try putting metal screening covering the vent covers inside the house, and hope that helps.
I may end up calling Froggy's again, and see if they have a solution. They did such a great job with our mice problem, telling me how they were getting in and then stopping them.

We don;t get them here in the mountains until mid to end of June, not sure how stop your infestation there. They must be in the house to begin with, would be my guess.

Doesn't sound like they are coming in from outside, but I would still keep your doors and windows closed, and put up the yellow bug lights outside so as not to attract any more of them. Yuck, I hate those things, if they get in my house, game over for them.

They have been doing this migration for eons. The plague of each May/June. Make sure they don't have any openings to get into. They will even get in through the roof vents and then though the attic access into the house. Duct tape works pretty well to seal it up. If we go in and out of the doors after dark, we make sure that the lights in the house are off so minimal numbers go in after the light. We also place a goose-neck lamp on the dining room table turn it on, and place a large bowl of soapy water under the light. They go after the light and then get caught in the water. Beth makes me turn off the bedroom light and leave the bathroom light on for a while so they all go in there at night. Then I get to go into the bathroom and close the door, then kill all that are in there before she will attenpt to go to sleep. Crazy!
