For any of you out there who may be wondering about alternative methods for deterring moths around your wool – I highly recommend a puppy. No, seriously.
A moth (not likely the dangerous kind, for one it was a bit too big) just landed on my knee. We see a lot more bugs in this apartment than we did in the last one (probably because I count an ant infestation as one single bug), perils of being out in the country. I’ll trade more bugs for the semi’s that used to rattle our walls, any day!
Anyway – the moth didn’t stay long on my knee, and shortly made it’s fatal error – it flew across the puppy’s line of sight. That was it – it was toast. She pursued it through the apartment with the single-minded focus of a zealot. First paws, then teeth, and finally (I believe) she ate it. A few more of those and she will have totally made up for the times she’s tried to eat my yarn!
