First, let me just say that I can’t decide which I hate more: cows or moths.
You all know that I hate cows…but now moths are rallying in an attempt to take over the number one hate spot. In particular, the moths that think slamming themselves against the blinds above my head at 2AM and making a horrible chink chink noise is a good idea. Or the moths that slam themselves into me or Bonbon while we’re trying to watch movies…causing us to jump up screaming and flee the room. Or the moths that just won’t land somewhere convenient for me to smash them with my shoe.
In summary: I hate them.
I haven’t had a moth problem before, but apparently it’s a big deal in Denver. Particularly in old cottages like mine, which are not 100% sealed off from the outside world. Apparently.
So here I am coming up with possibly-clever ways of killing these suckers. Or at least keeping them out of the bedroom. Leaving the hall light on just a little at night…keeping them there. Hmmm, maybe next I’ll light a fire. For sure, they’d fly in and burn themselves up. Also, my landlord would be excited about fires. Win-win.
Yeah, it’s Miller Time (Miller moth season). Mom and I were just talking about them this morning. She suggests putting a pan of soapy water in the kitchen and leaving the light on over night. Not sure why that works, but seems like a harmless and cheap thing to try.
EDIT: Mom has HEARD the soapy try thing works. Neither of us have had occasion to try it. ^_^
Ugh. *Neither of us HAS had occasion to try it.
Going back to bed now.
Hahaha! What do they do…drown themselves in the water?
I think so. Let me know how it works if you try it.
The other suggestion was, “Get a cat and hide the glassware.”
I have seen this one in action. What it lacks in efficiency, it supplies in hilarity.
