Insects Limited Greenway Clothing Moth Traps (2 Traps) - Moth Traps for Clothes Closets - Alternative to Cedar Balls and Moth Balls for Closet - Pheromone Attractant & Eco Friendly

These have been working well so far. I did a little test - had 5 moths sitting in the corner of my office, and put a trap about 2 feet below on a shelf. It took 3-4 days, but the moths eventually did move to the trap (they stayed on the wall the rest of the time). So some patience is needed. They aren't going to swarm to the traps overnight (many will). Ordered a bigger box and got the smaller boxes in a larger box, so lots of wasted packaging. Hope they will make another packaging option in the future (well, hope I don't need these in the future!).

I've had issues with both pantry and clothes moths (horrifying) and not 100 % positive I have alleviated my issue with the clothes moths but I am hopeful. These pheromone traps seem to work well and I am impressed that they claim to attract both sex moths (which I have not seen claimed before). I bought the hottest steam cleaner I could find and steamed every corner of a room and all the baseboards. Moths like to make webbing to lay eggs in corners. I did one room a day to not be totally overwhelmed. I had my carpets professionally steamed cleaned (even though I saw no evidence of moth activity in the rugs). I bagged all my clothes and put them in my basement bringing up one bag at a time and washing and drying in high heat and them put them in a plastic tub with a pheromone trap to monitor moth activity. I sent some clothes to a dry cleaner. I checked furniture and curtains for any moths and I used my steamer between cushions. But when I saw real results was when I discovered nesting sites in specifically my bathroom ceiling fan. Also discovered some webbing behind some light and cable plates and other vents I think the pheromone traps are helpful but they will not rid you of the problem however they are a good indicator if you still have a problem.

Muy buenas trampas. Nos arrepentimos de solo haber comprado un paquete dado los gastos de envío.

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 most infestation calls for hours of work and maintenance. One tool that I use in the regimen I have developed over the years is the use of 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 (Faicuk). Between the two, I would rate them both at 4 stars, but I do prefer this brand slightly over the other as I find when it works, it seems to attract slightly more than the other brand. (I use them both at the same time.) 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 both the female and 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.)- The Faicuk brand has the pheromone 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 as with this product 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. I don't care if some sticky gets on my shirt sleeve with this product, but having sticky stuff laced with moth-attracting pheromones now potentially stuck to my shirt or other area (as with the other brand) makes me uncomfortable. Also, the moths clearly center around the pheromone swab which seems to indicate that it is effective.- The plastic that you remove to expose the sticky coating is easy to remove. (The Faisuk brand always stick and is difficult to pull off on one side.)-There are little punchout holes at the top where you can stick a wire coat hanger to hang the trap somewhere.CONS:- When put together, the trap has a more circular shape on the bottom so it does not stand quite as easily on surfaces (really not a big deal, but something to note).- There is no hanging ring on top (as the Faicuk brand has) so you need to attach the trap to a wire hanger or something else in order to hang it easily in your closet or elsewhere.- The plastic pack that contains the pheromone swab is very difficult to rip open, which can be frustrating because it is not something you want to go flying and lost as you try to rip the bag open. Scissors could obviously solve, but I somehow don't like using my scissors for this.- These are slightly more expensive than the other brand I purchase.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 that I have seen moths to help me 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 now 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. Alternatively, if it is summer, 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 couple of 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 had been using vacuuming & dry-cleaning to battle a moth problem for years until I finally did some research and started using these GreenWay traps. They are definitely effective. Checking the traps felt like Christmas morning, when I got to see how many moths the traps had collected since the last check. During the first spring season, I caught 100+ moths in in the closet where I keep gloves & scarves.The traps aren't the only solution. Moth control is a years-long effort, and I've accepted that I may never get rid of them completely. In our cold climate, the traps only catch moths in the spring, and again in the late summer and fall. During the moth-free months, the little devils are busy turning from eggs into wool-eating larvae, so cleaning & vacuuming regularly are essential.
