Anyone else having problems with Moths lately?

Just within the last 3 days we have been having problems with moths everywhere. Today i opened the door to the truck and about 200 of them flew out from the door jamb, same way with the other 2 vehicles and just tonite they are all in the house. Do these things have a mateing season or something?

Very annoying. I noticed when they flew out of the truck i had small spots all over the seats that looked like water. Finally got rid of the damn woodpecker and now we are invaded with moths.

Take a look at the American Snout butterfly. The grey ones look like a moth. We get these in South Texas by the trillions. They get so damn thick you can't see to drive thru them. They'll plug a radiator in less than 5 minutes at hiway speeds. We generally carry a spare bottle of cola in the truck as it's the only thing that will get the guts off the windshield. A wire brush is standard equipment during their "season" to keep the engine cool. They seem to last about 2 weeks here and then there are trillions of them stacked on the sides of road dead. There aren't enough birds alive to keep up with them. Anyway, take a look at the linky and the grey ones. Surely we can't be the only lucky ones with these things.
