Food Moth Traps x 6

One evening, a moth flew past me while I was washing up and did a kamikaze dive into the washing up bowl. I remarked to myself what feeble creatures moths are, flying into water, singeing themselves in candle flames and dying whenever they bump into anything.So I was surprised to see the moth again a day later, having witnessed it's sad demise the previous evening. It gradually dawned on me, multiple sightings later, that it was not one moth that I was witnessing, but many. I had a moth infestation.I looked it up on t'Internet and found that infestations by Indian meal moths, or pantry moths as they are otherwise known, are notoriously hard to eliminate.Apparently, you have to throw away all your cupboard food, disinfect everything with bleach or vinegar, and pick out all the crevices in the woodwork with a toothpick to get rid of all the eggs."Forget" that, I thought. I opted instead for all-out slaughter, thrashing around with a rolled-up newspaper whenever I saw a moth. This proved to be a futile strategy, especially if the target moth was inside a cupboard, whereupon I would lash out at it, becoming increasingly angry, with the encounter inevitably ending with most of the contents of the cupboard being knocked to the floor, whilst the moth darted frustratingly out of sight.The moth population just grew and grew. Moths floated to the surface when I cooked up my pearl barley. Little grubs crawled out if I cooked rice, or turned up inside jars of jam or were even seen out in the open inside my food cupboards. It was horrible.Then I bought these moth traps. At first, the moth population continued to flourish, although I found that there were far fewer to swipe at with my trusty newspaper because the trap was catching one or two. However, as the trap works by attracting randy male moths by mimicking the female moth pheromone, the availability of moth studs was severely reduced. Consequently, the number of offspring dramatically declined.Now, a couple of months on, I haven't seen a live moth anywhere for almost a fortnight. Occasionally I find one in the trap, but it's gone from having to swat upwards of 20 moths a day to none at all. It's got to the point where I can cautiously say that the infestation seems to have been defeated.So I would highly recommend these little traps. The moths can't resist them, and they are sufficiently powerful to wipe out the whole population.

i bought this 3 times in total and am sad to see the price go up; it works but it takes time for the pheromones to work (or so i read) and then one day, the moths will start getting trapped. i found that the previous batches before the "upgrade" worked faster and were far more efficient. they used to trap moths so efficiently that i rarely notice any flying around but the same cannot be said for the new batch of traps. of course they are better than having no traps at all.I'll recommend them to anyone with a moth problem, give it at least 2 weeks, eventually they will work. having said that, i'm going to try some new ones.

I live in Portugal, for some time I have seen revolting little maggots every now and again on the walls in my kitchen, then found some in a packet of crackers and a tub of muesli. Beside my self I got on-line and realised they must be pantry moths. I have gone through all of my food cupboards and put anything open into sealy bags and got rid of box packaging where possible. (the moths like to lay in the folds of the boxes apparently) I found these Pheremone traps on Amazon, put them in all of the cupboards and on top of the units and they seem so far to be doing the job. As you can see from the photo they are catching the male moths and they are all the same type so they are very specific. I cannot recommend these traps enough and will be buying more.

I've bought these after experiencing pantry about 12 months ago.After I've cleaned up the pantry wanted to make sure that there aren't any leftover moths so bought these moth traps.There weren't any, so I just placed the rest of the sealed ones in a cupboard and forgot about them until a few days ago when I bought some moth balls to put into my wardrobe.Placed one in the cupboard more for fun, as I haven't seen any sign of pantry moths a few days ago, and lo and behold, 5 MOTHS were caught.Product works as advertised one year after purchase and I'm really happy with it.They say you can use them for up to 8 weeks, not sure about that, but at about 1 pound per trap, even if they last one month, for peace and mind I would still use one even though there doesn't seem to be any signs of pantry moths, usually when you see them, it's a bit too late.

It works. Does what it says on the packet.These are for control of any lingering unwanted guests.Liittle buggers got in through a packet of loose sunflower seeds ( gerbil treats) and since found out that if you buy any loose seeds /bird seeds etc freezing them overnight will kill off any unwanted house guests.Believe me they take some shifting and there is no overnight cure. A good clean out of cupboards (bleach) and disposing of opened foodstuffs then keeping any foods in air tight containers is the way to go,plus pull out and vacuum books and dvds they hide in the smallest nooks and crannies ..there are places you can't reach such as behind fitted cupbards but constant monitoring is the only option, kill the adults as you see them and the traps to catch the adult males to stop them breeding. No food and no nooky they die off.

Brilliant had 9 other little gits the first night I put it out

Proving very effective, you may have to move them around to figure the 'favoured' spots. May take a few days to attract the males as 'scent' seems to take a while to developed once opened. These only attract the males. Bear in mind the life cycles, my be dormant for a while then a new 'batch', so leave in place when you think you have 'caught' them all, just in case!

Brought for a household (not mine). It seemed to work, as heard no more complaints about moths but, I can not be 100% certain of its real success.
