Moth Update 2007

The moths appear to be kitchen moths. Whew! I cleaned like crazy last night and tossed out all open packages in my pantry. I then killed all the moths I could find. I closed the door to the kitchen all night and this morning, there were no new moths! Woo! I haven't seen any today. Hopefully I've gotten the little things under control!

Columbus, we have a problem...

My apartment is infested with moths.

Yes.

I said that evil word.

MOTHS!

Doesn't it just make your blood run cold?

I'm not sure what kind of moths they are. They seem to be coming from somewhere in my kitchen. I've also seen them in the halls of my building. I'm guessing they might be one of the hazards of living in an old building. I'm also guessing that all moths eat wool. They are really small moths and seem to fly around erratically. They are pretty easy to swat out of the air too.

I'm currently shoving skeins of yarn into plastic bags and cramming them into my tiny, tiny, tiny freezer. Wish me luck.

ETA: They appear to be Indian Meal Moths. They are quite a problem in Ohio.
