Moth help?

[MKR&*42]

Lmao this is odd, but I think there's a problem with moths in my room/maybe house.

Basically every day I am finding loads of small moths appearing on the ceiling of my room and no matter how many of them I kill, there's more and more appearing (I do understand they lay eggs and hatch quickly but I was hoping I was fast enough to kill them bizarrely) and I'm fairly sure if I dont do something soon I'm gonna be in moth hell.

I can't understand why they're in my room though cause they're not feasting on my clothes and I don't have any grains or... oh i have a box of cereal omfg i hope it's not that. Anyway yeah they're not seemingly doing anything, they're just staying on the ceiling and flying about every so often but it is driving me crazy how many i have to kill a day.

What can I actually do about this, is there an easy home method to get rid of them or will i have to call pest control if it gets too much (i dont fancy that) or are there any traps or stuff thatt people on here have experience with etc.

+rep for any useful replies

You can look out for pheromone moth traps - an all over clean would probably improve it too (I'm not saying your room or house is untidy, but it'll help get rid of any eggs they may have laid).

Oh I have that in my room too :S
I remember ages ago my mum told me it's to do with damp?
I looked it up on google and it says if you have pet food left out or any carpet in your house, they get attracted to the food or any type of sugary food too and lay eggs underneath the carpet/??/////// I didn't even know this tho omg but this may not be about the common moth okay okay

I get them most of the time where we leave the windows open in summer so like atm theres probs 2 in my house rn

Aparently you can get sticky traps or summet to get rid of them but thats too much effort for me

Probably infested in your carpet.

Yeah my mumopens my window and i always tell her not to because bugs constantly fly in which is why i never open my windows in summer, i just suffer in heat.

my bedroom si actually quite messy i will probbaly have a tidy up today and see if that solves anything

oh i have some like damp or mould or something around my windowsill too which has been there for years and cant get rid of sigh

[lemons]

i use to have quite a few in my bedroom in my old house and they made holes in my clothes

try clearing out your wardrobe etc GET CLEANING

lmao omg im like that even if its like 30 degrees ill close my windows completely just cos i HATE flies if i see a fly i will stop whatever it is im doing n wait til it either goes out the room or kill it before i can even look away n do something else lol... once spent like an hour just chasing a fly at night cos i wouldnt go to sleep until it was gone... the buzzing sound is just SO ******* ANNOYING I CANNOT COPE

in my old house whenever it was summer the bathroom would be FULL of moths every single year... but literally only that room in the whole house so it was weird n there was obv some problem with that room because then both me and my brother would freak out n refuse to go to to the bathroom lol

you might need to get your carpet cleaned. Not as expensive/as much hassle as you think, you can hire one from b&q and also get the washing stuff to keep for £50.
