12-Pack Clothes Moth Traps with Pheromone Attractant for Closet and Carpet

These work very well for controlling clothing moths. Easy to set up and to dispose of them. No odor.

These really catch moths! I have tried some other brands, including ones that imply they are a "greener" choice, and some caught zero clothes moths and some just a few. These are by far the best and keep catching for a long time so long as there is space for them to land.

I have a very severe clothing moth infestation (both types, the webbing and casemaking kinds), which I have had for about 5 years. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences in my home-owning experience, with thousands and thousands of dollars in damage and in searching for a solution. The short is that there is unfortunately no easy one-shot solution and minimizing and managing a clothing moth infestation calls for hours of work and maintenance. One tool that I use in the regimen I have developed over the years is clothing moth traps. Please note that there is absolutely no clothing moth trap that is actually a "trap" that can be used to eradicate an infestation (as one would use rodent traps or other traps for infestations). Rather, moth traps are really used as an indication of how severe a problem you have, where the problem might originate and also as a happy tool in trapping and killing some of the suckers to make you feel a bit better! Please also note that these are for Clothing Moths (which are very different from pantry moths and other moths you may find in your home).I use this brand and one other brand (GreenWay Clothing Moth Traps). Between the two, I would rate them both at 4 stars, but I do prefer GreenWay slightly over this brand as I find when it works, GreenWay seems to attract slightly more than the this brand. (I use them both at the same time and plan to continue using both.) Here are my thoughts:PROS:- When it works, it is highly effective (See my picture.). I know that there are times when I do have a bad infestation, but the trap is not indicating that. Since this trap is supposed to attract only the male moths, I wonder if when in the moth cycle we are contributes to this inconsistent outcome. Please note that this picture was taken after only a few days in a room where I have (fingers crossed) succeeded in concentrating the population and that I am now in the process of eliminating. (It is much harder to deal with an infestation when you see moths all over your house as opposed to only one or two rooms.)-When put together, the trap has a flat bottom, making it easy to sit on surfaces.-There is a built-in hook that makes it easy to hang the trap in closets or other areas.- Less expensive than the other brand I purchase.CONS:-The plastic that you remove to expose the sticky coating is often difficult to remove on one side and you inevitably get sticky stuff on your hand or elsewhere as you struggle to pull it off on one side.-The pheromone is already in the sticky substance coating the inside of the trap. While not having to take out the pheromone swab might seem more convenient, I prefer having them separate because when removing the plastic that covers the sticky coating, it is inevitable to get some on your hands or get it stuck on a surface by mistake. Since the sticky stuff on these traps is laced with moth-attracting pheromones, I don't like having pheromone laced sticky stuff stuck to my shirt or other area.Keeping the traps cool seems to help with both these cons somewhat.In case helpful to folks, here is a list of other steps I take in controlling a clothing moth infestation:- Always keep traps in areas where I have seen moths to help know where I might have moth activity.- I receive a regular shipment of Trichogramma Wasps, which are parasitic tiny (almost not visible to the naked eye) beneficial wasps which do not sting, but deposit their own eggs into the eggs of moths, killing the moth eggs.- If they cannot be washed/dry cleaned right away, keep any worn cloths made from natural fibers in an area that is separate from unworn cloths, preferably where there is sunlight and ventilation.- Religiously clean clothes that have been worn. Because dry cleaning is expensive, I use Soak (see my review here: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3LOWESEA55LMY/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8) to wash many of my woolens at home.- Store off-season clothing in airtight bags (such as the ziploc vacuum bags). I actually store many of my in-season but not as worn clothing in these bags as well. The plastic is not great for clothing (especially natural fibers), but it is worth the potential harm for me.- Vacuum regularly and clean surfaces with vinegar solution.- Shake hanging clothes regularly to dislodge possible moth eggs or moths on clothing.- If I find infested clothing or am suspicious that there might be infestation, I vacuum seal the clothing and either heat or cool the clothing: I have a deep meat freezer where I store clothing. I have not found a authoritative answer on how long, but the freeze must be deep and also uninterrupted, so I use the deep freezer and store the clothing for a week. I have never had any damaged clothing from doing this. Alternatively, if it is summer/hot, I put the clothing in my car with a thermometer that allows me to see if the clothing reaches 130 degrees. This temperature kills all stages of the moths and does not ruin delicate clothing as the dryer would. I usually try to keep the clothing at this temperature for a day or two, but just a few hours should do the trick.- I have looked into home heating services (these are primarily used for bed bug extermination, but can also be used for moths), but because moths fly, heating services may not be as effective for moths and are very expensive.I know this was long, but this information has taken me years to learn and if it can be helpful to someone else, I would be delighted! Good luck!

I put several of these up around my house, and they very quickly began attracting clothes moths. They are all covered in many of them now. They do their job and the pheromones work.

In my case, this product simply does NOT attract or catch ANY closet moths. I've had 2 open in 2 closets for a month where I have had infestations. NOT ONE MOTH TRAPPED. Meant to return and missed the window by days as I was dealing with an emergency... I am still seeing them and chasing them around my house with an electric fly swatter. Dysfunctional use of my time, but they have destroyed many articles of clothing. I had high hopes for something to help my effort to control or eliminate them. Not sure if other brands work better, but I'm skeptical all around now. Maybe the pheromone of this product is not strong enough. I may try another brand, but will return within the window if I get same 0 results.

Ugh! Nothing's worse than clothes moths! Most of these traps just don't work. Don't even bother with the cheap ones they sell. I've tried them all, and this one works great and is economical, with 12 traps in one package. The other brand that works just as well has a blue and yellow box, but this brand gives you many more traps for the money. The trick? Use as many traps as possible, strategically placed, write the date on them and change every 3 months! Keep an extra pack on hand for when warm weather rolls around again.At the same time as using these traps (which only catch male moths), catch any moths you can each day with a cordless wand vac, and wash and treat clothes, carpets, etc. (freezing garments and small rugs in plastic bags for a week works). These traps are easy to use, are safe (if very sticky) around pets and kids, and have no odor at all. Moths are stubborn, but along with vigilance and using other methods along with them, these traps will go a long way in helping to eradicate your moth problem!

These are Great! it will not totally cure the issue if you have a infestation. I use them in all of my closets as a preventative and they work.

Half the price of others, twice the amount, and works as well or better in comparison test. I've used Dr. Killigans and Moth Prevention before, and decided to try this, since the infestation is bad and they were getting expensive.Putting Faicuk and Moth Prevention side by side on the wall, Faicuk caught more than Moth Prevention. Moth Prevention works better by far than Dr. Killigans, but Faicuk works even better and is about one fourth the cost.
