Moths coming from the ductwork

It wasn’t too long ago when we had a moth invasion in our home.

I didn’t really know where the moths were coming from at first until I saw a few of them coming out from the ductwork.

I didn’t know how they managed to survive inside of there until I started reading about the issues with moths. I came to learn that the larvae were able to feed on animal hair and pet dander, and I had a couple of cats. I realized that their hair was probably going into the ductwork and these moths were laying eggs inside of there. So I decided to call up an exterminator to have the moths killed inside of the ductwork and they made sure there were no more moths inside of my home. I also had my local HVAC company work on providing an official cleaning to the ductwork so there was nothing else in there, including animal hair and pet dander. I was really happy when there were no more moths in my home. Also after having the ductwork system cleaned out, the air quality improved a great deal in my home, so that was a plus. I figure that the moths managed to get into my home because I ordered some bird seed, and I learned that bird seed can be littered with moth eggs if it comes from a warehouse that is infested with moths. I learned that I had to freeze the birdseed in my freezer to kill the eggs. I was happy that at least I didn’t have to throw out all the bird seed, but I reported the moth problem to the people I bought it from.
