Moths swarm Duke City
Millions of miller moths are invading the Southwest, including parts of New Mexico.
Pirate Pest Control owner Jay Lee says he hasn't seen it this bad in years.
"They're a nocturnal creature," Lee said.
He recommends homeowners keep their porch lights turned off for the time being. A pesticide spray from him usually runs about $75, but he said there are no guarantees it will even work with the moths.
Experts blame this year's outbreak on a mild winter and early spring.
Within a couple of weeks, moths around the metro area will be gone as they make their way toward the East mountains.
