Moth Infestation

For the past few weeks we have been overrun by moths. They somehow get into the house, (we don't leave doors open or anything, so it's a mystery) and they don't leave. Morgan has fun with them, but I think they are gross and annoying. Our bedroom seems like it was the favorite hang out for these creatures, to every night I would hear them fluttering around while I tried to sleep. So one night I got the bug net out and caught them all and stuck them in a jar. There were six in the bedroom. Then Aaron caught another 5 in the living room. Yet, when we finally went to bed the room wasn't moth free! Somehow some had escaped notice and still fluttered around.


The next morning I showed Morgan the jar of 11 moths. He had fun shaking and rolling the jar, but then became their advocate and demanded that I release them. So we did. Outside, mind. They still tried to hitch a ride back inside on our clothes, those pesky, persistent buggers. The next night there were more moths again. *SIGH*

It must be the year of the moth because we have been having lots of moths as well.

Since you have a bugnet, make Morgan the official catcher. ha

It might be a Utah thing. My mom and dad-in-law just told me about their horrible moth infestation last year and it's not so bad this year, but they're still around.

Check your cereal/cracker boxes before eating. They found a ton in there. Yuck!
