Do you know what you get when you hang your laundry outside in miller moth season and do not shake each piece out carefully before you bring them in? Eleventy kajillion miller moths in the house! If you do shake each piece out carefully, you will still bring in miller moths, but if you don't it is positively Hitchcockian.

Ugh. I used to live in a place where we had 7-year invasions of miller moths, and, ugh.

Moths. Eeeek!

(There was a semi-infestation of moths back east a couple of years ago that really drove home for me a lot of the reasons for Dad's Army-learned habits, even though I suspect we all thought of that as nitpickery.)

We are currently getting a daily influx of large winged ants scouting our laundry room, which is not in fact at all a desirable nesting venue.

Not for the lifetime of ants, anyway.

But mostly your response makes me think of the ants-- or is it you? :D -- recruiting the jackal and ostrich to come on down....
