Not moths, but I'm finding this year's a bugger for flies.
Moths infestation, anyone affected by them ?

Had them in our old flat, and they munched through clothes and carpet. Bought some of those toxic smoke bombs to kill em all. Set them off, then f'd off for the day. Problem solved.

I got back from my last trip to Devon and found over 100 dead flies in the house and spent the next 2 days using my electric tennis racket swatter to dispatch over 100 more. There were hundreds of little brown splodges everywhere and I realised that they were fly crap! The worst thing of all was that they had even managed to get inside my fridge!! There were about 20 trapped in there.
There was no old food lying about and no windows left open so I have no idea how they did this! It is the second time in 3 years that it has happened and I would like it to be the last...

This last week I have been noticing a lot of moths; not really coming into the house per se but lingering around the inside of the conservatory. For me to notice that many, there would have to be quite a significant increase in numbers I'd guess.
But more worryingly, I have seen at least 4 horse flies; 1 of which seemed to be dive bombing me for blood. I haven't seen any in my suburban setting ever (and I've lived on the outskirts of the city now for 17 years). We do have a tidal lake about 1/2 mile from us, but I don't know if that makes any difference. I'll have to look up what attracts them, or whether it's some sort of freak invasion

Strange that.
SE Lakes and we were only remarking how few flies there have been this year. Mrs SD usually gets in a real fret with the infernal creatures and she has been really calm this year.
Plus the spider population has also diminished accordingly. Also a major source of angst for the lovely lady.
