THE best way is not to bring in infected flour, grains, or other products that these moths love; the second best way is to put these traps in their flight paths. They can’t resist and that’s it: “Hotel California”!

My husband and I have been cursed with moths for the past three years. They started in my pantry (I have lots of grains, etc) and worked their way up to my closet and destroyed two of my beautiful coats. I bought two of these moth traps to see if they would work before I ordered more, which I just did. The first week or so there were no moths in the trap, but a few weeks later (after they hatched I guess) the trap is FULL of moths. There must be more than 30 in there now. If I knew how to post a photo here, I would. I have no idea how to do it. My suggestion is give this time to work and it will. For the first time in years we see no more moths flying in our house. I’m going to keep one in every clothes closet and two in our pantry from now on. These traps are worth every penny. The “Set of two” pack is a better deal than the “six” pack! UPDATE June 25, 2010: Happy to report we are now completely moth free. It took a while to get them all, but there are no longer any moths getting stuck in the traps, nor do we see any evidence of any living moths. We were badly infested. I believe they came in with whole wheat that I grind. Just for good measure, we are keeping these out. So glad to have found them! UPDATE November, 2010: Still no signs of moths. We have one in every closet. They stay sticky forever so don’t have to replace until full.
I declared war against the moths. I wanted to buy little moth-sized baseball bats and beat them senseless. I wanted to make the moths pay for all of the goodies I had to throw out of my pantry! So I bought this trap. And it works pretty well, actually. I put it out about 4 days ago and we’ve caught 5 moths so far. I haven’t seen any fluttering around the house and I’m quite glad about it. Unfortunately, the moths are still alive (4 days later). Even though I made a big deal about waging some great war on the moths, I sort of feel sad for the little guys when I walk near the trap and their little antennae are just a’goin’, waving around as if to say “heeelp meee! heeeeeeeelp meeee!” But if you can handle that sort of thing, then by all means, buy this moth trap. It is perfect for pantry moth problems.
The moths started flying to this thing the moment we opened the package, on the other side of the kitchen. Caught 20+ moths in just a few days. Amazing. How we solved our pantry moth problem ————————————– We had pantry moths for a year (started from flour from an international grocery). Twice, we had cleaned the pantry completely (throwing out infested rice/cereal/flour/etc., a week later the moths were back. The problem is the eggs; they are everywhere, including the nooks and crannies of the pantry where you can’t possibly clean. So here’s what we did. We removed everything one by one. We threw out anything that was open, or whose wrapping was paper or plastic. These moths are *amazing* at getting into unopened paper/plastic packages and laying their eggs, they are like little magicians. So when in doubt, just throw it out. Plan to throw out a lot. For any item we didn’t throw out (e.g., unopened cans and jars), we cleaned the outside thoroughly with a wet cloth, and put the item in open boxes in another room.
You cannot smush these little pests fast enough to defeat them! You need the heavy artillery. As soon as we put the traps out we started catching LOTS of them. Leave the traps in place even after you think the battle is over – a new crop of moths will hatch out just about the time you declare victory.
