8 Pack Pantry Moth Traps- Safe and Effective for Food and Cupboard- Glue Traps with Pheromones and Anti bacterial for Pantry Moths

3rd edit (August 7): I rarely touch these traps...but I think the pheromone is somehow on me now. The past three times I went to Kroger, I was followed by two or three pantry moths that must have hatched in the store. This is an unexpected turn of events. I so rarely see them in my home, but I can't escape them in a giant grocery store. That's a pretty good indication of how strong the pheromones are in these traps. 2nd edit: It's been just over two months (July 3rd today) since we started using these traps. I just received my 3rd 8 pack and I'm interested to see how long it takes to fill them up or if I even get that many. There are very few flying around anymore and I assume they are females. We swat them when we see them. The 16 traps I used prior to today were all filled with moths by the time I disposed of them. Despite not seeing much activity, I want to give it at least one more round of fresh traps before I call the problem fixed. Though I imagine I will still keep some out to prevent reinfestation (new ones tend to show up in my dry goods). I think these are a solid investment if you have a pantry moth problem. The male moths are drawn to them like a candle flame. Just a suggestion to those dealing with this problem, also invest in sealed storage containers. Amazon has some great sets with a good rubber seal. I put all my cereals, rices, flours, sugar, etc. in them and it's helping prevent further infestations. I've also been freezing new dried goods as they come into my home. I have sushi rice and corn meal in the freezer as I write this. I leave them in there for a week before putting them in the sealed containers to kill any offending critters (I did not freeze my previous bag of sushi rice and it was infested with pantry moths inside the sealed container. They couldn't get out and while I was able to kill them all, I didn't want to use the rice after that). I also have a big bag of Turkish bay leaves that I spread on shelves and in drawers that hold food/spices. I read somewhere that they don't like bay leaves and it appears to be true. These moths (and even weevils) also like to get into boxes of Mac and cheese, pasta, boxed stuffing, rice-a-roni, etc. Freeze them all and seal them up. Edit to add: two days later and the traps are full of moths. So the sticky part works! We have been dealing with pantry moths off and on for years. We will get it under control and then one day they come back. It's always been confined to our kitchen...until this year. They moved into the living room and have taken over, driving us crazy. I feel like I'm killing 5+ a day. I just got these traps a few hours ago and only opened them within the last 30 minutes. I can't attest to how well they actually trap the moths, but the pheromones work! I was most skeptical about that part. I had just removed one of the papers off the sticky part and was swarmed by pantry moths. They are usually hiding in my curtains and we generally only see two or three aloft at any given time. I was surrounded at one point with close to ten hovering around me. One walked into a trap and got stuck, but two others were able to escape the sticky trap. So I'm not sure how well the sticky parts are going to work. But it brings them out of hiding. My husband and I were able to kill most of them just by luring them out of hiding. That alone makes these traps worth it. My second line of defense are some plug in traps that I'm waiting for. Hoping between the two products, we can get rid of this problem once and for all.

These are incredibly effective at catching the little food moths. Those moths can get everywhere if you don’t take care of them ALL. These things attract even larger bugs (roaches) and are strong enough to stick/trap/hold them. Great to leave in the back of a cabinet- or pantry- to be sure pests don't proliferate. And if you get some pests- put one of these anywhere you see them and it will do the rest. Easy to put in use. Need to be replaced usually every few weeks (they are effective and can get a little gross if you don’t).

These were our saving grace with pantry moths. They were everywhere, in our house this past summer. We got these and caught at least 30 the first night. We kept putting new traps out until we didn't catch any new ones. They are amazing. It's wild because it's got pheromones so as soon as you open it, they start to come to that area.

Wish I had known about these sooner. However, they have worked really great and I'm almost out of Pantry Moths. I highly recommend these traps highly. No smell, very easy to put together, the size is just perfect and anything that goes near them is caught!!! I would give them at least 10 stars!!! S or E D & S

These work well for capturing the adult male pantry moths, aka "Indian Meal Moths". We live in Central Florida and these moths can be a problem here. The larvae can burrow through paper and plastic bags and containers to infest food. So first you will want to check the items in your pantry or cupboards, items like flour, dried fruit, sugar, nuts, dog treats, anything that is not in a well-sealed glass or hard plastic container. The concept with these traps is that they attract the male moths with pheromones (of female moths "In heat") that lure the males looking to find a mate to reproduce. The pheromones are imbedded in a very sticky glue, so when the males land inside the trap to check out the hot moth babes they are smelling, the glue traps them and that's the end for them. The traps are easy to put together. They come in a pack of 8, with 2 traps per foil bag. You just open the bag, take out a trap, which is a piece of cardboard with printing on one side, and pheromone glue on the other side. Peel the plastic sheet liner off the glue side, and fold the trap into a triangle, lock it by placing the tab through the slot, and place it where the moths have been seen. In our case, I placed them on pantry shelves and in cupboards. It was actually shocking the number of moths the traps caught, nearly covered the glue in some of them. The adult moths live a short time and their only purpose is to reproduce by mating and laying eggs in food items. It's remarkable how fast they can reproduce when they can find food to lay their eggs in. The larvae spin some sort of spidery cocoon in the food item before hatching into adult moths. So go through your pantry and cupboard, look in plastic and paper bags, and where you see the spidery cocoon and food sticking together, that's where the moth factories are that are leading to the infestation.

PANTRY MOTHS NIGHTMARE!! I found myself reaching into my cabinet and seeing a moth flutter. I did not realize this was the beginning of a war all because a tiny bag of almonds that got pushed to the back. Pantry moths are resilient and right when you think you’re gaining traction a bunch more will show up. Thank goodness for these traps. This took months to finally eradicate from my cabinet because these little guys will hide in the smallest crevices. I learned a lot along the way. Maybe my nightmare can help you. - Remove all food from your area. Throw it away. -Vacuum every crevice possible. Don’t forget the sides, underneath and tops - After weeks I found adding Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade with applicator along the sides, tops and crevices really helped (You can get here on Amazon) - Set traps inside of cabinet or pantry. Especially right where you found the infested food product. Leave area empty and door shut. Set more right outside the area. These traps really attract the moths. Fun fact: only the males fly. So the females and larvae are hiding. -Get essential Lavender oil and put in affected area. Glade has Lavender infused stick air fresheners I put in my cabinet. -Starve them by removing food sources - place new food away from area and in air tight containers. These containers can be pricey once you realize how much needs to go in containers. Dollar tree made it much more budget friendly to get containers for everything. -Kill them with Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade -Trap them with these traps -Repel with Lavender oil. Be diligent and patient. They will come and go in almost waves. Each time though the number would go down slowly but surely. I wanted to be 100% they were gone. So from start to finish it took 3 months. If you think they are gone. Just wait put new traps and make sure nothing is there. If you reintroduce food into that area and there’s a few lingering a whole new infestation can occur.

Let me first say, it's been hard to get rid of the pantry moths. It's taken a lot of effort, and a multi-pronged attack, but I think I've finally (almost completely) won the battle. These traps were an important part of the process, and they work really well. Probably nothing is as important as going through every bin, shelf, box, etc, and removing anything that might be infested, then vacuuming and cleaning the area, right down to crevices and the rim of lids on snap-tops. The egg cases lurk in small cracks. Also, start to store everything in a way that prevents s re-infestation. All that is essential, and you'll never win until you do that. But these traps are very effective at luring and trapping the moths, and if you determinedly watch for and kill any other moths you see by hand, eventually you'll see a massive shift in the infestation. It's been a couple of months of now of working at it on all fronts, and weirdly, I still have a single moth or two that will still pop up, which I get after immediately. I honestly can't figure out where they're coming from, but that's exactly why they're so hard to get rid of. For the most part, the infestation is almost completely in hand, and I honestly don't think it would have happened without these traps. I hung them flat, in places high on the wall where I'd often see the moths hanging out, and that worked well. I also put a couple of folded ones up on shelves, and any would get replaced after it had caught a dozen or so moths. It was rewarding to see how many got trapped, especially at first when the infestation felt out of control. You get a lot of traps for the money, they're easy to use, and last well. Great product!
