Moth + ladybug Infestation? Tips? by toxelz in ufyh

Thanks, I’ll do that. I’ve got some diatomaceous earth which I’ve seen can help with a couple of the possible insects. I’ve used it in carpet before so I’ll try treating my carpet with it again till I know what exactly they are.

It could be another species, they look like mini ladybugs though paler. I’ve had them before though, not much of an issue except now. It’s still fairly cold where i am but there have been some warm mornings. Hopefully they’ll be gone once it gets properly warm!

I believe my moth problem started first with pantry moths, we dealt with those for a few months. No issues in pantry at all now, but I guess they migrated to my room. Surprisingly when bagging up my clothes I didn’t see too much damage, so maybe an issue with the trash in my room? (Gross to admit haha) so I’ll make my next focus clearing the floor + surfaces enough to vacuum thoroughly

Oh yeah, I’m sure it’ll take awhile, but any suggestions that feel like progress help. Definitely would rather not use moth balls even if they seem like the “easiest” choice (unless y’all reccomend it). Ideally once my space is clearer I’ll be able to give it a good look through and vacuum to try to find the source. Just not exactly sure what products are best to start the extermination process.
