Oh dear, I understand they’re considered a pest – oh eck, what a dilemma, should I let nature takes it’s course or dispose of as humanely as poss.

Lindsay, from what I’ve read they’re not due to ‘hatch’ until spring (overwintering in my shed!). However, bee Moths are a bee-keepers enemy, completely destroying the hives. I will leave them for now, even though they give me the creeps to look at and take advice at a later stage.

Hello, LawrieL! I don’t want to improve your paranoia, but Are you sure that is only one bee moths nest is in your house? Usually, they are running with multiple numbers. Check your walls and floor. Maybe you will need to call some pest service. The nest you found is huge, and it can mean that you can look for some smaller ones around. I recommend you call the proper pest service or take online consultation. Here is the link https://ajverminatorpestcontrol.com/. You can talk with them about your problem.

MaeKrugern. Thankfully they were in my shed at the bottom of the garden and NOT in my house! I’ve decided to leave them until they hatch in the spring (door left wide open for them to escape). From what I’ve been advised they not the demons they’re made out to be 🤞🙏🏻 just very creepy to look at 😬

Lillianlambert. Did you let them hatch, or have them disposed of. I thought mine would start hatching by now, but no sign of movement as far as I know – they give me the creeps to look at. Thank goodness they’re in the shed and not in my home, I couldn’t cope with that 😬

Yes, those are bee moths indeed. I had an infestation of those in my house. Truly not a fun time for me. I had some old boxes that I put into storage in the basement around two or three years ago. I put heavy-duty trash bags around them to stop anything from getting in or out. We were going through the basement, and there were thousands of small holes in the garbage bags and several thousand desiccated bee moth cocoons all over the boxes. One of the boxes was full of them. It was so disgusting, and since I get easily sick, I left the basement immediately and called a pest control service to get rid of them. For more information visit https://enviropcs.com.au/.
