moths

Does anyone know how to get of moths and what I can use?
I have a lot of them upstairs and they are driving me nuts.

Thanks

    You mean kick them in the mothballs?

    another thread pointed out that moths now need something more specific. I's day wait until a cleverer poster than I comes along.

    Hoover!! Lots and lots. I found lots of moths when I moved into a house and they were eating great chunks out of the wool carpet. I used to find the larvae, which looks like bits of basmati rice under furniture, behind the telly and places where it was difficult to get to. I had to pull out the furniture and hoover often, and especially along the edges of the carpet and then empty the hoover straight away as I wasn't convinced they died being hoovered up. I tried every moth killing spray, plug ins and balls and things that hang in wardrobes, but the only thing that worked was hoovering. The moths are mostly gone, took a while and every now and again I see the odd one, but they might just be ones that have flown in, I did get a bit obsessed with them for a while!!
