Moths....Get Ready To Meet Your Maker!

Running to put up the bug zapper???

If you can't tell from the photo's above, David and I have officially turned into the rednecks of the neighborhood...all of a sudden, our back porch has been taken over by these tiny moth things...so, David decides to not just kill them, but to fry their insides out, and then have their fried skeletons hang decoratively on our back porch from a bug zapper....instead of it being like the bug zappers that we had growing up that had that insanely bright light that I am sure was radiating cancer into our bodies, this one has a dull glow. So, David was really excited to hang the thing up...I of course had reservations and figured it the loud popping would terrorize our already weird dog...but far be it from me to get in the way of a husband, chest pounding, drag the food back to the hut moment....so I stood by while he hung this hideous thing on the porch. So, he turned it on and was so excited to come in and wait to hear the sound of death outside on the porch...well, I don't know if its because the light was dim, or what exactly, but there was no sound of death...in fact, the little moths just fluttered around the light, but never went right to it. So, thank goodness we kept the box because that sucker is going back to the store. Anyone have any suggestions for moth removal that won't wake the neighbors or make us sterile?

What's wrong with just fogging up the neighborhood with DDT like when we were young?

You know ... the slow moving truck that dispensed the thick cloud while half the kids followed behind on their bikes. Good times. We turned out alright! And no bugs!
