Any advice to keep moths out of the home? They seem to be rampant because of the warmth of the past few days, enough that there is one or two every night, despite my relocating them outside when I can catch them.

I'd rather not kill them if I can avoid it.

You need a resident huntsman. All you will find is the wings in a neatish pile under the spider's residence.

A solid plan aside from the not killing bit

😹 I like having resident huntspiders, alas Boyo is afraid so outside they must stay

Zooks has swatted down the last few and played floof soccer with them, so the word has spread. Bugger.

I don’t think this is realistically possible. Cedar balls, lavender, and prayer if that’s your thing.
