My house is FULL of moths. They're everywhere. Dead and alive. One day I made my baby's bottle, and didn't cover it right away. I came back a minute later, and there was a moth drowned in the formula! And don't even get me started on taking a shower - the water "awakens" them, and they start flying around and driving me distracted. And I keep finding dead ones in my kids' baths. I know the obvious solution is screens, but we can't afford them. What can I do to keep those nudniks out of my house???

What kind of moths? If they're Indian meal moths (AKA pantry moths), storing all grain products and chocolate in Tupperware (or similar) will isolate them. Meanwhile, try vacuuming them.

Nope. That's not the kind. And they're everywhere, not only in my kitchen. Actually, the place where it's the worst is in the bathroom.

Are they tiny and black? If so, they're in your drain. Put a washcloth in your drain of your shower. Pour bleach. let sit for 30 min. rinse.

If you could identify the type, you could read up on their habits and
1) find out what they eat and eliminate the source, or
2) destroy their habitat or
3)you could find out whether there is a pheromone trap that could help with the infestation.

Do you know anything about them? From what I read up I couldn't find any helpful info. so far.
BTW - how are you so knowledgable about this subject, rubber ducky? You're impressive!
