soccermom Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Not everyone is allergic to them. They are part of the food cycle and birds need to eat. I would stop swishing them. Pheobe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 We have quite a few in our yard & had to show my hubby what they are so he didn't pick any up. That same day I was standing by the cellar door and I saw some of the white fur sticking out. He was cuddled up in the back of the handle. If he was planning on making that his winter home it was the wrong place. He is now in bug Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 We get the moths in the house frequently. They are fairly large and shaped like an arrow. Spend all their time trying to mate with the light bulbs or whatever they are doing. After a rowdy night you have to sweep them off the floor in the morning.
