Keeping Moths Away from House

I don't have a problem with moths, tho I do use as natural methods as possible. 1) I use peppercorns in anything I pack away for seasons; 2) I use lavender in my drawers and on my clothes hangers; 3) I also plant lavender and marigolds around all entrances to my home. These no only keep the moths away but also the mosquitoes. I do like getting as much bang for the buck as possible. :D

I've cut way back on the number of moths that come into my house with one simple method. I took the bulbs out of all my porch lights! Even the so-called Bug Lights attract the moths. I put up solar powered lights no less than 15 feet from the door, and I put a solar powered motion sensored light up which shines toward my front door, but is located about 25 feet away.

Also, before I open an outside door, I try to make sure the inside light in that room has been turned off for at least 5 minutes. The moths are attracted to the lights outside, and as long as I go in and out as quickly as I can, the moths don't get in. I used to have moths flying around my bedroom at night too, and they were really aggravating. But once I did this and of course swatted all the ones that were already in, now I only get a moth maybe once or so a month!

Does anyone have a suggestion how to keep the moths, etc. from flying around my screen door?
