Okay, that there is my second worst nightmare! Once the hubby was away and i was all alone and the whole ceiling in the laundry was lined with them and a few of them were taking joy rides thru my house. I spent the whole time armed with a broom- screaming and running, and swiping, screaming and running and hysterical. I will never forget it... scarred me for life. What a woos. Perhaps i shouldn't be letting the whole world know this, hmmm .. too late.

Get some cats Suzy,they think moths are great sport to try and catch, mind you the house can get a bit trashed in the process.

Mind you the chomping process when they do get one is a bit gruesome.

Cheers

It's the next step that worries me Jen, after they had too many.

Nooooo! Kitty, not the new carpet.

We usually have a few old towels ready to place in front of them.

I feel for you Jen. I don't know how I'd cope in your situation.

Gosh Jen, that's not good. At least you're not scared of them (unlike me). Thanks for the pic.
