I also find something like that in our house, but these tend to be no bigger than a dime. Fortunately they are easy to catch and smash but I'd like to know how to control/get rid of them short of toxic chemical attack.

I'm not sure, but after a couple years of looking for the source of the problem, to me they seemed to come from a small wormy thing that can easily crawl thru even fine mesh window screen, then of course when they are inside and turn into moths ...good bye nice sweaters.

To test this idea, I'm looking for something non-toxic and non-annoying to most humans, that I can put on/around each window to keep them from coming in. Don't know what yet and it seems like it would take a whole reproductive season to test my theory Probably by the time I figure it out and get rid of them, I'll be long gone from this life. I really like eucalyptus oil, do you think that would work?
