:)  I am hoping someone can offer some useful *CHEAP* advice.
:)  
:)  Quite often on hot summer nights, if someone opens the door at home
:)  for more than a split second, the house ends up literally swarming
:)  with moths and mosquitoes. Whole squadrons of these damn pests. I have
:)  read a little bit online about these insects recently, since it has
:)  become such a nuisance.
:)  I am sick and tired of going into battle time and again, armed with
:)  fly spray. I was hoping that there might be some sort of cheap simple
:)  traps that can be built for luring and killing moths and mosquitoes
:)  indoors. I am definitely not at all interested in spending big dollars
:)  on some fancy device. No chance at all. Zero. Forget it.
:)  Surely there must be something that can be rigged up to attract and
:)  trap moths and mosquitoes? Since it's an indoor problem, it doesn't
:)  need to attract insects from miles around.
:)  The thing to keep in mind is, *repelling* these moths and mosquitoes
:)  defeats the whole purpose, since they are already indoors and simply
:)  swarm about. I have read that the U.V. Light bug zappers generally do
:)  not attract mosquitoes.

If the moths are small and are always inside look for them in food products 
and get rid of the source. If they are nickle sized ones coming from the 
outdoors they are probably accumulating  around the porch lights then 
entering around the doors. Spray a pyrethroid insecticide in areas they would 
accumulate, cypermethrin will be one of the better that also repels. Treat 
the shady spots, damp areas, shrubbery with cypermethrin to help reduce the 
amount of mosquitos hanging around the property.
