Moths moths everywhere!

Bloody moths and eggs in my flat. I've had to bag up all of my clothes and vacuum everywhere. I can't afford pest control and they just keep coming back each year anyway. Even if I spray the place with a pesticide!. Which is a nightmare with a cat. Because she scratches the doors if shes shut out of a room and she can't go in for 24 hours after I've sprayed. So I'm trying to control the situation without that. I have hoovered everywhere but I still keep finding a few moths. I hate them they make my skin crawl.

I had what they called pantry moths at one time...and Terminex was able to use a special moth birth control spray that they said was NOT harmful to my cat. They said that gradually, over a period of a month or so, the moths would no longer be able to reproduce...and it worked.

I tried to research what they used for you, but can't find it.

One VERY helpful tip I found was to get rid of all my bags of flour and cornmeal and other opened bags of things that they like to eat...and I also found that if there was no open source of water anywhere, they died of dehydration.

@4meAndyou I believe these are carpet moths I bought some spray.

We had that once, it came from the bulk food we were buying at the supermarket. We don't buy bulk food anymore.

@JamesBugman they are not from food these are carpet moths.

Natural mouth pest control focuses on using substances like peppermint, garlic, or other natural ingredients to repel or eliminate pests from your home or garden. These methods often involve creating barriers, sprays, or using plants to deter pests

Any clue how they get in ?????

Do it all year
