Does everyone get moths/mice?

Gah! Just spent a winter dealing with mice and moths. Just spent an afternoon realising I need to throw away a few bin bags full of stored clothes because of the mothy bastards. How common is it to always be having to deal with these things? Am I particularly minging?

Moths are something that happens with warm weather...where do you live?
Anyway, you need to wash all of your wools, the ones you cannot you need to treat them with very hot steam. Once done, they go in closed plastic bags. Ikea has good ones

Could you somehow turn the mice against the moths or vice versa? If you could, for example, get the mice to drive out the moths then you would only be left with one problem?

I second this. Liberally coat the moths in peanut butter. They will fly away, mice will follow and problem solved.

You are welcome.

We get mice despite our best efforts but we do back into countryside and it's a case of laying poison. I can't stand them shitting everywhere

Is it so unusual that no one is replying because they don’t have them? Or do people not like to talk about it?
