Don't know what I could have done to encourage them, but I'm suffering
a plague of small (clothes?) moths.

Anyone know of reasonably safe ways of eliminating them?


There are loads of moths around at present but I doubt they are clothes
moths.
I don't think they do very well on modern artificial fabrics.


Funnily enough in the past fortnight we too have a plague of moths in
the house which look exactly like clothes moths; something I've hardly
seen for years even though most of our clothes and domestic fabrics are
natural fibres. I've been squashing them.

Clothes moths officially died out according to a website I came across.
Forget the year and the website, but trust me all moths around today are
friends.
