If they are coming in through a doorway from the outside, they are likely attracted to the doorway by the outside light. You can try to move your outside light to a location away from the door to allow you to enter without letting moths in. There are also special light bulbs you can buy that don't attract moths. Don't leave the door open for long when you're leaving or entering. This gives them lots of time to get in.

They make those sticky things, like fly traps that will catch them or you could put smoke bombs (those canned ones for insects) out and leave your house for about 3 hours and that would probably eliminate them. Also those electric bug zappers work. You hang it outside and the moths are attracted to the light. Costco had a package for $30 that included a outdoor electronic bug zapper and an indoor one that attracted and trapped the flying insects. Both work on the premise of ultraviolet light attracting the insect. I live by a lake with the potential for lots of insects but keeping my perimeter and interior sprayed regularly and the outdoor zapper keeps me relatively bug free.

Close the door or hang up some moth balls.
Hope this helps.

wear a yellow plastic bag on your head at all times duting the day to ward them off from wanting to enter your dome, then at night put panty hose on your head while screaming britney spears song(oops i did it again) and there you have it no moths.or get some moth repelling crap.

They have those bug lightbulbs at places like walmart, the bugs arent attracted to them so they wont be near the door when you open.
