That first instinct to swat or squish almost always backfires. You’ll end up with a dusty smear on your hand and a moth that’s now frantic and hiding under the bed. Instead, take a slow breath. Remember: moths are terrible at escaping—they’re basically confused little off-brand butterflies with a better sense of smell.
Your goal is to be a helpful bouncer, not a hunter. Imagine you’re politely showing a lost tourist the way to the exit. That energy actually works.
