Goths

[timmmy]

Does anyone else have a problem with these? I find they can be a real problem, especially round the camping areas. My friends wife is petrified of them and last year two got in their tent on Thursday night. She wouldn't go back in all weekend, even though we assured her they were gone.

I agree, not to mention the way they eat holes in your clothes as well!

Hey, goths have feelings too.

Come to think about it, maybe they don't.

edit: there's a facebook discussion about it: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2210537661&topic=1771

I was under the impression that goths would avoid "happy" places like Glasto?

Disagree: Goths are an excellent subculture.

Maybe he meant moths?

[Gnomicide]

An easy mistake to make.

Personally I loved the few goths i saw at last year's Glasto. Despite the ridiculous temperatures and relentless sun, they still wore many layers in all black with long leather jackets.

Now those are proper goths.

Goths in hot weather

[timmmy]

I just found this on the Rentokil website. I didn't know about the eggs or larva, I guess the key is to get rid of these then you won't get the adults.

Protecting Your Home and Family from Goths.

While goths do not pose a health risk, they are a pest in homes because of the severe damage their larvae cause to clothes, fabrics, furs, leather and carpets.

This damage may continue for many weeks after goth caterpillars have hatched.  Serious harm may have been done before numbers of flying goths are seen and so prevention of a goth problem is important.

While a minor infestation of goths can be dealt with using DIY products, an established goth problem is likely to require professional assistance.

Signs of a goth Problem

Often the first sign of a goth problem will be damage to fabrics but there will usually be other indicators:

adult goths (often crawling rather than flying)

maggot-like larvae (goth caterpillars)

the silken tubes or cases in which goth larvae live

pupae (silk cocoons) in which larvae turn into goths.
