Moths....help?

[skywalkerlion]

Moths creep me out, bro. Those giant ones turn me to stone. If the reason you have to keep your windows open is because of heat (I sympathize) buy a fan. I like the noise it makes and it keeps me bearably cool.

Kill as many as you can, you'll need the experience for the final boss:

Well if I close the windows, it gets really really hot and stuffy and I like the cool breeze. The flyscreen was the obvious idea BUT it turns out (since its a rented place) I am, for some reason, not allowed to make any structural changes to the place without approval. Which is very silly because its a goddamn flyscreen :/

So don't put one in the window, just put it over the window hole, should cut down on bugs dramatically anyway. Consider yourself lucky you live somewhere that apparently lacks mosquitoes.

Cheers, will do a workaround. Hate these fecking things though

GAH!

Why???

WHY????

 

[Hellz_Barz]

I never have any trouble with moths, all the geckos in my room eat them.

I just wish the geckos would stop shitting on my pillow.

This is why I never kill any of the lizards I find in my house cause I never ever have any bug problems when they are around. although I've never had one venture onto my bed, They just chill on the wall or underneath the oven and fridge.

Also I don't really ever have to deal with moths because my lamp in my room is pretty much a moth death trap. Basically the lamp shade is upside down and like a bowl. so all the moths fly into it get burned by the light build and then die within the lamp shade.

No offense but from how you phrased this,it sounds like you try to reason with the bugs.
Try using something to dim your light or better yet,bug spray to make them leave.If nothing else works,buy your neighbor a bug zapper.The thing's will fly to his house instead of yours.

 

[Merkavar]

its called a fly screen.

looks like this

what about mosquito netting over your bed. that way you wont get moths on you when your in bed.

 

[UnmotivatedSlacker]

Have you tried politely asking them to leave?

considering the OP is a brit, that may be stereotyping...
OT: punch the fuck out of them. or, y'know, close the windows.

Huh? ...Oh, so he is. And stereotyping? I think you're being a tad too sensitive.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Buy some mosquito netting. And staple it to the outside of the window so you can still open it. Or option B the expensive option. Buy new windows with screens.

HAhaha I like this. But that wouldn't work. You have to appeal to their vanity and arrogance by challenging them to a race outside. They'll leave to get ready and you'll be fine!

 

[electronicgoat]

Get a shotgun. Show these moth motherfuckers who's the boss.

 

[octafish]

You know what moths feed on? They feed on fear!

Spoiler: the truth

Don't ever go to Canberra, you wouldn't be able to handle the Bogong Moths. Bodies as big as your finger.

Short of summoning Cthulhu I think i've done all that I can.

Well there you go. The next logical step is already known. Just give me a few minutes to get to the bunker then proceed.

OT: Try getting some other form of cooling yourself. Either that or get a bug zapper to put outside the window.

 

[Android2137]

As long as they haven't invaded your pantry, I don't think you have a real problem. Yet. *shudder* I could never look at paper towels, chocolate, and flour the same way again...

 

[NoPants2win]

Candles. It's hilarious. Try to put the candle in the sink or something to minimize the number of on fire moths you have flying around.

Mind the smell.

Also, you can get square fans that are roughly the dimensions of your window, that could slow the ingress of moths and keep you cool.

 

[Quinadin]

I'VE GOT IT! Get a flyscreen and duck tape it to the inside of the window frame. It's (mostly) easily removed so no real "structural change". Mosquito net (if available) would work better perhaps.

 

[Hellshifter]

Ok for the mothes i say flamethrower. If you dont care about the amount of destruction caused in removing the mothes i say a few sticks of dynamite like in caddyshack (tho that was a gopher, the movie was wrong tho it took a couple of bricks of c4 and some det cord to remove the gopher problem)

As for the monkey problem they can be removed by poisonous snakes. Now what to trump the snakes...

But in all seriousness I think a bug zapper or a spray that has tabasco sauce in it... Believe me that stuff will kill anything with a exoskeleton pretty bloody quick

 

[Peteron]

Screen your windows, or close them. Either way, I don't see your problem. I think moths are very cute!

 

[teebeeohh]

this may sound stupid but where i live we have only 5,5 hours without daylight now so if i am at home i just sleep, windows open light out curtains drawn so no stray moth get in. works like a charm

 

[Averant]

Put an open flame outside, right above your window. Close the lights off before you go to sleep.

A cat. Cats murder everything. Screen windows are a less aggressive and furry solution. You could also tack up some mosquito netting over your windows, after you open them.

I have two cats that won't kill anything And I bought one for the earwigs I have. Fuck I hate those things, they hide in the best spots. Under the calender so when I flip it up I have one crawling on July, and under the soap and gah! (Also for some strang reason I typed that in Gil's voice, from the simpsons.)
