COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. --

All it takes is a little bit of light and an open door before your home bugs out with Miller moths.

"Just keep the door shut, and get in and out real fast, that's all I can do," Gene McKenna of Colorado Springs said.

The creepy crawler pests squeeze into homes through cracks and small openings, so your best bet is to be prepared.

Mug-A-Bug Pest Control said the best way to keep the bugs out is with proper weather stripping, sealed door jams and tight window screens.

If that doesn't help, you can always set up a trap.

"Some people place out a bright light at night and put a dish of soapy water that will attract and once they fall in they're unable to get out," James Whidden, owner of Mug-A-Bug Pest Control, said.

Keep in mind what you kill off today will be back tomorrow.

Swarms of miller moths are making their migration from the plains of Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, feeding on the nectar of an early spring.

Extreme temperatures mean these miller moths think it's actually mid-May, and based on the amount of activity so far, bug experts are saying this season is going to be rough.

So, a pesky problem that usually starts in mid-May has come early, and you can fight it or bare with it.

"It's not a problem, to me it's part of nature, and it will pass," Anna Adams of Colorado Springs said.

The moth migration last 6-8 weeks, but the worst of it is generally only half that time.
