Cricket or baseball?
Only needed for the largest moths...
I find an electric tennis racket fly zapper does the trick! (Small moths just go pop but flies sometimes start smouldering.

you can get these in the uk as well, they seek and destroy the moth eggs before they hatch and start eating, eventually the moths die out...

The trouble is they only work on one species out of the five common in Britain, so identification of the pest is essential to avoid wasting money. The National Trust abandoned their experiment with them as being no better than pheromone traps.

I saw the first of this year's moths last week!
I have my high voltage tennis racket handy to deal with them but that will probably be another closing the stable door after the horse has bolted scenario!

We get them from time to time, really difficult to get rid of. Ours are the food eating type (Indianmeal moth), not the fabric eating ones. Just replaced our trap this morning with a new one in fact🤞
