We used to have a great moth problem and tried everything including dry cleaning ALL clothes. An assistant in John Lewis when asked for her advice asked if we had carpets and we said yes. She said 'then you will never get rid of them'. We got rid of the sticky pads. Apart from the nightly job of squashing the still living and struggling ones which was upsetting, we realised that it was attracting evry moth from far and wide. Males can detect the scent from miles away. Ordinary moths have a range of 7 miles apparently. We bought an electric swatter in the shape of a tennis racket which is easy to catch them with and they frizzle instantly. Overnight the population disappeared. We have now changed to wooden floors. They don't like manmade carpets so that's an option. Still see the occassional one but easy to spot against pale walls.


Also we hoover in the wardrobe and bedboxes and corners fairly regularly. With a Henry of course and empty it straightaway. Got that tip from the internet today. Still use lavender bags and a spray from Lakeland. Ongoing battle.

    • I agree with that The voters authorised strong austerity in 2010 and kept voting for it for 14 years - for that reason alone, given Labour have been in power for only months I can't find my else able to equate them as bad as each other. Yet. It may happen and given Labour's poor decision making and comms to date I wouldn't be surprised if they end up that way Problem is the voters say they want one thing (lower prices/better public services/things working) but then don't reward any government that tries to deliver -  and they explicitly said they wanted higher prices with Brexit and lower public services by voting Cons in for 14 years - so they got what they wanted, they just don't like the reality Whoever is elected now has to find a way to address those years of underinvestment and diminished growth - there is no painless way out. But blaming immigration for everything (Reform speciality) is only making everything worse
    • That’s good to know, but it just wasn’t clear to me.  
    • The sad reality is that the failures of the Tories and Labour cannot solely be attributed to Brexit, as convenient as that may be
    • Male dog - possibly German shepherd cross (tan/golden colour with some black markings) - found wandering the streets in this area. Found at approx 8.45 am Tuesday 6 May.  He had a collar but no contact details. Seemed fully grown. He's with Medivet Lordship Lane. No microchip. They're going to contact Southwark dog warden.
