12 Pack Pantry Moth Traps - Safe and Effective for Food and Cupboard - Glue Traps with Pheromones for Pantry Moths

If you are unfortunate enough to know what a pantry moth is, you need these traps. I’d never heard of them in my five decades on this planet and wish I could still say that. Once you get these little pests, it takes a multi pronged approach to rid yourself of them. After you remove everything in your pantry and throw away any possible food items that could have been the initial source or has been contaminated, you must put anything remaining in airtight storage containers. Keeping your pantry empty while trying to eliminate these pesky insects is important. We bought airtight containers for any new food we brought in and placed anything like flour in the fridge for 48 hours. We kept the kitchen very clean. No crumbs in sight. Every dish washed and put away without any amount of food sitting out that could give feed the moths. We even cleaned under the stove and fridge to make sure we weren’t feeding them. Wash down the walls with vinegar and water. Use a flashlight to search every nook and cranny larvae could be or that these insects could be hiding. Be diligent in looking everywhere for full grown pests, eggs, and larvae about to hatch. We found eggs in between the pages of recipe books in a bottom shelf in the pantry. They were so filled with eggs and newly hatched pantry moths that we had to toss all of them. Eggs were also on top of our cabinets where we had placed decorative plants, vases, etc. Even after all this, 6 weeks later, we still were seeing 1-10 pantry moths each day. I wish we’d bought these pantry moth traps the first day. They target the males because they can’t resist the smell. If you can eliminate the males, you just have to eliminate the females and hope there’s not many eggs waiting to hatch. I recommend this brand. A few things to note: it helps if you don’t peel off the backing until you bend the trap into the triangle shape. Then, peel off the back and secure them at the top. If they stick together, good luck getting them apart. Once you open a couple and place them (we kept them in the pantry because they seemed to congregate there), remove your clothes, put them in the washer, and shower. If not, the smell could linger on you and you could lead males to other rooms in your house. You won’t smell anything, but trust me, you will smell like a irresistible snack to the male pantry moths who are looking for a mate. Put a couple new ones out every few days. There are other things you can buy on Amazon to eliminate the with a spray and another gel that can eliminate the larvae before they hatch. We didn’t try the last two things because we’re finally at the finish line - I hope. These moth traps are effective and seem to catch every male that gets a whiff. The design is good as long as you don’t accidentally let the sides touch before you make the triangle shape. They hold up well and aren’t flimsy.

This is the only thing I have found that will work to get rid of pantry flies. I did couponing a few years ago and had a rood dedicated to stockpiling. I noticed somehow I had brought in these pantry flies, tried everything and someone told me about these traps... It takes forever to get rid of the pantry flies but these traps are doing the trick.

A window was left open in my home unfortunately. Started off seeing a couple moths then I knew I had a serious situation because I started seeing moths frequently in a few different areas in my home. I searched online and on Amazon and came across this brand. Saw a couple of good reviews and took a chance on these. Depending on the extent of your moth situation get the 12 pack. These pest procreate so fast and leave larva behind as well. Not only have I caught adult moths I've caught the babies as well with this traps. Yes you have to properly clean because these pesky insects lay eggs so if you want this to be effective cleaning has to go hand in hand. Highly recommend this purchase and I'm happy with the results I'm getting. Don't hesitate please buy!

Does great job of trapping moths

When I first put these traps out, I turned around and immediately there were 3 moths flying around! I usually only see about 5-10 moths a day, but these caught that many within an hour! And continued catching many more than I imagined I had! The traps catch the moths by attracting them with pheromones and then trapping them in sticky glue where they eventually die. So it’s not exactly humane, but it is effective. After one fills up, put out another to catch some late-bloomers and to continue catching future-hatched moths. You’ll think you’ve solved your moth problem because you’ll go for a while without seeing any moths, but after a while more eggs will hatch and more moths will emerge from their pupas. They are super-simple to set up, and I don’t smell a thing. The only downside is that you’ll watch a moth fly around your kitchen for quite a while, getting close to the trap, and then flying away again, until you eventually give up and zap it. Trust that it’ll eventually get trapped though because the trap will get quite full of dead moths! Much more than you ever imagined you had!

If you have pantry moths, please accept my sympathy. In case you have never had pantry moths before, know that the sooner you start trapping them the better! Once you get them, they never seem to go away. These traps work well. Have multiples out at all times. It sounds like I have a vested interest, I guess, but I am making no money off this product, only spending it! I don’t like using pesticides of any kind. I prefer using products that aren’t toxic, such as these traps. It can be embarrassing to have guests over and see moths flying around one’s kitchen. Keep multiple traps out and change them when they fill up or the attractant times out. Don’t think that because you don’t see as many moths every once in a while you don’t still have them. The moths come in waves. The moths are disgusting and relentless. They seem to hatch in groups, month after month, year after year, invade disgustingly, and just keep coming. The eggs can wait for a year or more before hatching. They’re the “gift” that just keeps giving. Ugh! Also, you need to approach the problem on at leasttwo fronts—protect your opened food bags: chips, cookies, crackers—whatever is in your pantry—religiously. With fervor! In plastic or glass containers, even. Never relax about that. You need to maintain an obsessively clean kitchen, no crumbs ever. I’ve started wondering if pantry moths are not just another gift of global warming (like so many other things we don’t need). Again, my sympathy. Good luck.

Love these Moth collectors. They work Great.
