Help!! House infested with moths!!!

Please help. My bedroom is infested with little moths everywhere. They are not in any of the other rooms. Can you post and tips, ideas, web link, information and advice on how to get rid of them and stop them from returning.

Thanks :beer:

    Smoke them out with a insecticide candle or two.
    If they are carpet or clothing moths you could be in serious trouble, we only found 1 moth before all the upstairs carpets were munched by their grubs.

    Install an ultra violet insectecutor, you can get a simple 1 for only a few quid, keeps the moths and flies etc at bay
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    We have no carpet upstairs. We have checked clothes and seen no holes. The moths like to hide in our clothes.

    With the inspecticide candles, do we need to remove all our clothes & bedding from the room before using it? I cannot see them on amazon.co.uk, do you know where I can purchase them from or a web link. Thanks

    You can find them on ebay and on any site that sells pest control products. Search under fumigation

    No, don't remove your cloths, (ooooerr matron), leave them spread out and let the product do it's job.

    Follow the instructions supplied or call the manf for help.
