I’m sorry for your moth issues.

We’ve been inundated with Miller Moths... think scenes out of the birds 😱😱. The larvae don’t eat clothes.. thank goodness, but they are just, well I turned the basement light on and went down and it was a scene out of The Birds lol.

But I have been reading about moths in general. I don’t know that I’d spray with Raid. I’d probably use dynamite.. ha teasing. Have you looked up killing the larvae?? Maybe call an exterminator?

I told my hubs that they had better go soon. I found Anniecat on the top of the balcony railing. Had a mild heart attack, told him if she fell and broke something.. it would be fixed!!! Anniecat is a great, albeit very talkative cat. And a thief. And a former beauty queen lol.

I have been reading extensively about moth larva.

Interestingly, WINDEX and DAWN POWERWASH are the most effective in penetrating the gluelike casing around the larva. The eggs are layered, and it takes forever to get down to the last one.

The webbing clothes moth is really destructive. It spins a hairlike thread then starts weaving itself into the fabric.
