There are thousands of them at night..so we can't even sit outside on the deck in the evening. They started coming out about 2 weeks ago and now they are really thick! I don't even know how we could even spray our trees to rid them of this infestation. 20 acres is a lot of trees. The moth is rather small and is pale beige to whitish. When it gets indoors it is not like a dusty miller moth that flutters around constantly above a light. It will just land near a light and stay. I am hoping they will not be back next year. We have had this property for 20 years and I have seen something similar to this about 15 years ago but not anywhere this bad. The fishing is great because of it though! Please let me know what this is... Thanks
