Powerful Moth Traps for Clothes & Closets | Refillable 3-Pack | Odor-Free & Natural | Moth Pheromone Traps for House & Clothing

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I live in an old building and moths recently became an issue - evidence of them are definitely in my clothes, but no holes yet thankfully, so I'm in early stages of an infestation. Decided to try these as anything more toxic isn't an option, and noticed as I was setting them up a bunch of moths were suddenly flying around (in the middle of the day, in bright light). Within the first ten minutes they'd already caught about a dozen. Ordering more to put around the apartment as they very clearly work to attract male moths and hoping this gets rid of the issue before I try ordering trichogramma wasps.

This arrived swiftly. I didn't open and start trapping until I saw a few males. I wanted to be sure they were still here before testing the product. On the morning of 11/17/20, after killing 3 male clothes moths in the master bedroom I was excited to use my Moth Prevention 3-pk! Directions to assemble and place are clear. Easy to assemble, although to get the sticky sheet in place in the box I did get glue on a few fingers, but it came off easily by washing my hands with my usual gentle hand soap. After assembling each box I tossed each one on the carpeted floor just 'cause I had seen female moths running around in that area (well, the cat saw them and enjoyed pouncing on them, then I noticed and killed them if the cat hadn't.) I wondered if it would lure females or even catch larva. So I left the boxes there for 3-4 hours. We have 2 closets in our MBR I hung one box in the closet which is always opened and placed it on the rail as I would any hanger and left a few inches of open space between the front of the moth box and my clothes. I hung one similarly in the closet that has a perpetually closed door. I hung the final box on the over-the-door clothes rack on the back of the MBR door. 11/18/20 I waited until full daylight in the MBR so I could check my moth traps clearly. They worked! In the open door closet I had 3 (!!) moths although they were smaller than the ones I killed the day before, in the closed door closet I had 0. Now the oddity of the final trap on the over the door rack. The trap caught one tiny grey pebble-ish item (litter from the brief stint on the floor? An egg?) and 1 full grown larva stuck about an inch into the sticky sheet. How did it get there? Did it crawl in when the box was on the floor? I checked the sticky pads but not the outsides or remainder of the insides so this larva may have walked in from the floor. I sure hope so, because the alternative is it ended up in a box 6 feet off the ground by walking along a metal rod and down into the box. How could it walk across the sticky base? Or could it have been in the box and fallen from someplace inside the box to the sticky side? I do not know. Look, I don't want these moths in my house, but I also don't want them to stand there stuck to the glue until they died from starvation, dehydration, or whatever. I would rather they died quick (don't slam me, you don't have to agree with me, this is my opinion only). Plus, I don't want live ones calling out to their free flying brothers, "Dude, don't come in here! I know it smells great, but you are gonna get trapped! And no I didn't meet any hotties before I got trapped. Dude, just leave!" I wonder if it would reduce the efficacy of the trap if I were to quickly smoosh the stuck moths. I will ask the Moth-Prevention.com folks and update the review. In fact I may do several updates as these traps should catch the male moths for up to 3 months. At this rate they won't have any sticky place left. These work, but they won't cure a full on infestation. If you have a large infestation, you will need to go through all your clothing looking for moths, eggs, larvae, fiber cocoons, and spots eaten away. Even if your clothes were in plastic tubs, dresser drawers, or in garment bags. There is no room here for the long process so google it, and start working. These moths I have are cyclical and this is the 3rd round as best as I can tell. I can't use anything that would kill all of them in one fell swoop because of my cats and my and my husband's allergies and health, alas. So I am researching and doing the work myself and slowly making progress. So these traps are great for my process. I may not see moths, etc. But these traps are everything they say they are, so I will keep them hanging to be sure the house is finally clear. I am going to buy another 3 pack for our 2nd bedroom and closet. Final note: YES they work and are worth your money.

These are working fine but the directions are confusing. hte price is way too high to only receive 3 and you have to put it together.

These really work! I put in the closet and 2 weeks later they are covered with moths that would otherwise be eating my sweaters. I had no idea there were so many.

Immediately started working. As opening these and saw a moth fluttering nearby. Has continued to catch moths.

Extremely effective and easy to assemble

These are OK - but overpriced. Not as good as other cheaper options.

I had a major moth infestation secretly taking over the wool lining of the under-bed storage of my king bed. So when I put these traps out and I only saw one or two moths after a week, I thought they don't work at all! I had hundreds of moths that were laying eggs under my bed and elsewhere in the house so killing only one or two a week wasn't going to put a dent in their population. The under-bed wool storage was prime moth real estate! But it was a huge undertaking to remove all the wool lining, so until I had the time to do it, I thought these traps might help in the interim. No, they were useless. Okay, now flash forward to after I removed the wool lining from the bed storage. I also vacuum sealed all our wool clothes, cleaned and stored our wool carpets, etc etc. I would still see a few surviving moths flying around. And that's when the TRAPS WORKED! My theory is that when I had the huge moth utopian breeding real estate under my bed, it probably smelled very strongly like females to the male moths. So they were attracted to that strong scent under the bed. A little dinky synthetic phermone moth trap wasn't going to deter them from the real thing! It's like having an adult video store next door to a brothel. Why bother! But once I removed the main breeding site, the male moths were so desperate to find females and they flocked to the traps and I was able to kill the last remaining moths!Other Tips: My moth infestation was enormous and I refused to use toxic chemicals. I had considered hiring a professional exterminator but all the reviews said the moths come back eventually. I believe this is because they don't do a thorough job. Even if you hire a professional, you still need to bag up and clean all your wool & fur items yourself. It's a ton of work. But even then, moths are crazy resilient and will survive on the tiniest little fur ball of wool debris or pet hair. So if you have pets like I do, then any crack in the baseboard or the space under your appliances likely has a build up of pet hair, maybe some human hair too, and wool sheddings from carpets or clothes. I even found moths breeding inside the filter of my vacuum because it had cat hair and wool carpet sheddings! So to win the war, you need to thoroughly clean all these crevices and spaces regularly for several months. I used a special vacuum hose attachment and a super-sized pipe cleaner to clean under my fridge, stove, dishwasher, laundry machines etc (purchased on amazon). I also vacuumed my wool carpets every week (flipped them over and vacuum the backside as well). Moths don't like to breed on surfaces that are regularly disturbed or exposed to light. So even if you have wool carpets and pillows, just make sure to shake them up every week and vacuum them. Finally, I took diatomaceous earth (or you can use borax powder) and I used a duster (small plastic bottle that puffs the powder) to inject the powder under my appliances, into any crevices or holes in baseboards, and under the toe kick of my kitchen cabinets and bedroom closets. So far this is working great for me and I haven't seen a moth in 2 months.Last note: The reason for 4 stars is the price. I used this trap as well as a cheaper trap by Ecotastic. They both had the same results but I ended up continuing on with the other trap because it was more affordable.
