Our new house is plagued with moths.

Millers, my Mom would have called them. At first they were tiny, smaller than 1/2", but now they are getting Bigger!

Every evening a few will appear on our kitchen ceiling and cupboard doors. Just a few. They don't flitter around the lights, they just lounge on the ceiling like lizards on a warm rock. They're not fast, but you don't want to smack them with a swatter, because they're messy.

So that means we have to get out the stepladder and collect them in a napkin. We've killed between 5 and 12 every night for the past 5 weeks. We've been very diligent, thinking that pretty soon they'd disappear. I know we didn't bring them with us, because my Dad complained about them too. (We moved into his house).

We're stumped on where they are coming from! The kitchen cabinets have been gone through and cleaned. We had a guy from Dish up in the attic last week -- he didn't say anything about a collection of critters. He also was in the crawl space and didn't report anything.

The garage is attached, but we haven't seen any out there. They mainly like the east end of our small kitchen, but we've seen a couple in the adjoining hall and living room. I have potted plants, but they don't hang out there. The pantry is clean. We just replaced the washer and dryer, so they're not hanging out behind them. Closets with any possible wool items are clear down on the other end of the house.

The only places I haven't cleaned are behind the fridge and stove. And under the sink. But there hasn't been enough activity there to make me suspect that is their hideout. The old couches and chairs have been removed from the house.

WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY COMING FROM?
