To help you out I'd use Spinosad and Azatrol or Azamax all natural and ORMI certified and goes away in 3 days

Dude at the grow store told me spinosad as well . Do you think a few moths will breed in 10 or so days time ? How long do they take before are adults? I really want to avoid spraying but at same time I have heard caterpilars can fuck shit up.

yeah they can but if you got 10 days left for safety purposes I'd spray and wait a few extra days then harvest. Did you see any signs of caterpillars I mean leaves eaten?

Go in the room before lights on and inspect that's when you'll see them and catch them and you might not have to worry about spraying and you said there's only a few moths. Kill them lol

The little fuckers go bouncing off fans they can't even fly there is too much airflow. I have very small walkways so it's hard to hunt in there lol. No signs of any cAterpilars that's why I was wondering how long they take to breed or lay eggs or whatever the hell they do lol

I wouldn't botherer with only 10 days left you will do more harm spraying stuff around your delicate buds at this stage, just get some fly paper and put it around your plant that will catch the little buggers

I've got the same problem 2 or 3 of the flappy bastards in my veg closet and they brought a black winged thing to the party to. I'm going to the grow shop later for something to nuke insects but what's people's advice for prevention? I'll be putting flypaper by the entrance. Would mouth balls by the fan help? I'm thinking having mothball stank in the area would put them off investigating the closet

get in there with a vacuum and suck the bastards up..I don't understand how a moth outwits someone..

flypaper is up but the shop was out of neem oil (hopefully don't need to go that far yet). Will dust off the old vacuum cleaner and give the closet another thorough clean (about 16 weeks since last), there's carpet in the bottom of the closet I may put a layer of linoleum over that to make it less inviting the flappy bastards.
I'll give it a clean out shortly but last time I did that they got my wallet and social security number after I was playing find the lady with them, damn cunning moths.

2 moths and you cant swat them and kill them?!?!?! You dont want any moths or houseflies in your grow at all...they carry micromites. House spiders(spider bro's)...keep them around

They're tiny little moths, about 4mm wing span, nightmare to swat but will still drop there leaf eating bastard babies all over my plants. A spider-bro took up residence shortly after starting, he's welcome as long as the web stays off the girls, that gets removed immediately
