Moths are out of control.

[ecduzitgood]

Has anyone noticed the amount of moths? Each spring the tree's are getting decimated by caterpillars which I have been told if they don't get a chance to keep their leaves they will loose strength and possibly die. I just went out to move the trailer and unhook it from the car and during which time I had about 20-30 enter the garage (because of the light ). The area where the outdoor spot light illuminated was swarming with them. Wouldn't it be possible for the town to spray something at this time of year (no bees exposed) to slow down the spread before they get further out of control. This is driving me nuts, when I let the dogs out at night there are always a couple that sneek in each week . I have been able to keep the amount getting in down by limiting the lights. Do bug zappers work for these moths? I am thinking of making something up that will give off light and coating it with sticky crap(?) but haven't figured out how, maybe a plexiglass box with a spray on adhesive (like contact cement) but can't figure how to do it in a cost efficient low maintenance manner. Am I they only one that has these moths in abundance?
