For that matter, do the moths have higher voices after collection?

Anyone know of a better way other than a rat snake or a cat? - Mike

A 12 Ga with #7½ or #8 shot usually kills 'em every time!!

Hand grenades are more fun.

This is beginning to sound like a briefing I heard many years ago on
the subject of computer output microform.

We were discussing emergency destruction; shredders were ineffective
since they left usable images. An army guy was discussing the use of
incendiary grenades and the effect on Dibold safes (5 drawer) and the
contents thereof. The reccie pilot said he had a problem with the use
of incendiaries; the sub driver echoed his concerns. - Mike

For years I have seen advertisements for electronic pest repellents
that one plugs into wall sockets. Perhaps one of those on an extension
cord might work.

Depends on what time of the moth it is...

I know of no scientific evidence to support this but it's widely
believed that laundry dryer softener sheets drive mice away. If it
works, it's probably the awful perfume they put in those things.

The poisoned peanut butter works as they get very thirsty and to
looking for water before they die which usually gets them out of the
airplane. The downside is the dead mice are poisonous to any animal
that eats them.

Ha! The story I heard recently about Bounce! is that it keeps mosquitos
away. Popular on golf courses it said. I have no idea if there is any
truth in it. Perhaps a really, really ingenious marketing guy?

You should send a note to mythbusters and ask them to prove it
true or false.

Since they can't shoot a piece of bounce or make it explode they will
probably turn idea down as being too tame for their target audience.
