Q&A: How do I kill moths living outside my house?

Question by Badriya: How do I kill moths living outside my house?
Moths are one of my most feared creatures in the universe. (I'll wait while you all stop laughing…) Okay…a week or so ago the HUGEST moth I have ever seen got in my mudroom when I was letting the dogs in. I mean he was so big he had shoulders. Anyway, after several attempts (and fake-outs by Mothra) I finally killed it. Today…after cleaning my car out this weekend – my first mistake – I had 7…yes SEVEN moths ambush me in my car throughout the day. Clearly it was the Moth Mafia (the Mothia, if you will) after me for killing their boss. So at the end of my work day, I pulled the moth-mobile into the moth-cave and began to mow the lawn. OMG. They were EVERYWHERE! Every bush and plant I mowed next to at least 10-15 moths would fly out. Even when I mowed next to my deck. What the heck is going on?! It was surreal. At one point, I forgot my fear and started laughing. Sooo…clearly, they all must die. What's the best method – without killing my current plants?

I can't imagine how you could fear an insect that has neither fangs or a stinger especially since some moths are down right beautiful. However, since you are phobic maybe you can use a bug zapper to solve your problem.
