Wait till his friends show up!!

seed moths stay on my list here

my first ones arrived in a bag of wild bird seed for the outside birdies

I am fortunate that the hardware store a few blocks away carries those traps, I think I have paid for a boat and summer home with the volume I have purchased

[GG.]

uh-huh that's exactly how I feel about them

the funny thing is the birds think they are evil beings out to get them and start screaming while the dogs think they are something new and chase them

 

[MollyMouse]

Ewww my skin is crawling

 

[rockoko]

disgusting evil thingies crawling up the wall and making nests in the space between the wall and the ceiling, yeah gross, took me many months to eradicate a moth infestation i had a few years ago GROSS!
everything goes in the freezer now

[CrashSmAshley]

AHHHHHHHHHH! I'm so glad I've never had them before

Just make sure no birdy can get to the traps because they will get stuck in them too.

REally? They usually work great here...I just had a bunch of them in my laundry room...I had tossed some seed in the trash can and one must have gotten in there and laid its eggs or whatever they do...they were everywhere!!! (Now I have a trash can with a lid in all rooms!) I put one of those traps in there, checked it yesterday...only one trapped...checked it today and OMG! I think I got them all! lol

 

[Annamacaw]

Oh yea.... seed moths are baaaaad news..... I actually use the sticky mouse traps and put them near the night light at night..... the worm stage is when you are "supposed" to get them, but I hardly ever see the worms.....

 

[birdlady]

I actually saw the worms crawling up my walls! I thought I got them all with the vacuum, but I guess not. lol

I rarely get them, but once they sneak in somehow, it can be a royal pain.

isn't that the most disgusting thing!! I saw them crawling up the wall too, and on the cage covers

Saroj check the cage covers
where there are folds

I moved with the darn things from NY to FL

 

[birdlady]

You're right...they go in the creases and folds! I had some linens stacked in there and am washing all of them just in case! I hate them!!!!

 

[lamagdalena]

wait till you are in the sofa and right by your head you see a wormy thing say hello

thats what happened to me and i sent the next six months getting rid of them. fyi..the moth worm babies like to clime the walls and then once on the roof they drop down.
