Moths
We seem to have an infestation of moths
Little ones, hardly as big as my little finger nail.I have bare patches on the carpet in various places, around the skirting, under furniture etc.
I have tried all sorts of insect repellent and flying insect killers, to no avail.
Today in 25 degree heat we have steam cleaned the whole bungalow, in the hope that this will get rid of them.
Has anyone any other ideas?

Don't know if you've tried this or where to put it if the moths are everywhere, but might be worth a look;

We have had a lot in our bathroom and have taken up moth spotting and identification with the girls.

Does come out with some really weird solutions sometimes but she's usually spot on
