Are people seriously out here killing moths?

Bastards.

You gnaw my suit, you get the boot.

Honestly, the small angular ones that lay larvae on clothing get swatted or electrocuted without a second thought. They fall into the mosquito category.

Everything else gets escorted outside or, if not feasible without risking harm, left to their own devices.

I'll admit I have a huge fear of moths ever since I was a kid. I wouldn't kill it, because I couldn't get close to it, but wouldn't cry either... :(

Fair. My cousin has a fear of moths. He once described encountering a moth at night:

"I could hear him, out in the hall, his whings beating. whooosh whoosh. I held my blanket tight, and waited for him to pass. And that's when the door swung open. CRASH I looked up from under the covers and screamed. AAAAAH"

I never did find out how he got rid of that moth.

I hope he didn't kill it.
