    I just teared up before because I’m so over these carpet moths. I think I got them, and then I find more 🙄

    My home smells like vinegar lol

    And I cannot wait til I get menopause and after, this shit is so damn annoying 😂

      They briefly came back for me too. I think they’re getting in via dry goods from the supermarket so I’m going to go back to putting that stuff in the freezer for a bit when it arrives to kill any eggs.

      And I bought more snap shut plastic containers (though that’s not always moth proof)

      I find vacuuming the carpets to get any eggs helps the most of everything after that

        My big vacuum is farked, it started smelling like burning plastic. So I’ve been charging the small handheld one and going room by room. It’s hard because the carpet is very thick and woolly - I’m just mentally struggling with it all I’m sorry 😔

          Nooo I didn’t mean it like that. :(

          I’m also struggling hugely with vacuuming because of the noise and the energy. Was just saying that it seemed to work more than the vinegar

              My posts make me sound clean but I’m just scrambling to dig myself out of a hole… and only posting the clean parts
