New carpet - keep spotting moths in evening!

Had new carpet installed about a month ago.

Just recently little silvery brown moths have been appearing in the evening.

Most days just one or two.

DP thinks they are coming in from outside but the fact that there are a few most evenings makes me think they are coming out of hibernation from somewhere.

I obviously don't want them to start infesting the new carpet.

Has anyone had anything similar? What's best to use to get rid of the blighters?

Ideally prefer a natural option due to new baby

Sorry was going to say a pest exterminator but just seen you said natural option. I had lots hatch from a fireplace after moving into a house and they sorted it out by spraying everything in the house but I had hundreds of them.

If you don't want to go down the chemical route I think you will have to keep hoovering everything including them, paying careful attention to corners in rooms and dark places such as under furniture.

There are lots of moths around outside at the moment. So get some anti moth stuff for your wardrobes and drawers.
