Answer 9

They are usually attracted to light, but if you are still having problems then you could contact the environmental health people. They would probably come out and have a look for you.

Answer 10

they like light, moths that hung out in well lit places are able to reproduce more with other moths hanging out there, and pass on the genes that attract them to light...the moths that liked to hang out where they couldn't find mates died off, as did their genetic predisposition to those places. It's evolution creating yet another hindrance to humans...(you don't see many cockroaches in the wild, now do you?)

if there's no light, as in your case...it could be anything, do you live in a wet environment? I do, and it's awful. They might be breeding around there, try a bug zapper.

Best of luck, I know how tough it is...

Answer 11

light and open windows!!

Answer 12

Usually an outside light attracts them. Make sure you turn off a porch light if not in use. Also, you can try a bug zapper.

Answer 13

I know you say you don't keep lights on, but moths like light a lot. If there is some kind of light, even from a neighbors house, shining near yours, you've got moths. Also if they are finding some way to get in like there's a little hole near the ceiling or something, they'll fly in through there in the bad weather. Call pesticide control to come spray around your house so they will at least die when they come in.

Answer 14

light -put screens on your windows & keep the doors closed.
