Trap a Pest Clothing Moth Traps with Odorless Pheromone Attractant -8 Pack | Non-Toxic Sticky Traps for Clothes Moths, Closets, Wardrobes & Carpets - Long-Lasting Pheromone Lure - Safe & Easy to Deploy

As a kid, I remember going through things in Grandma's basement, guest closet and dresser, etc and constantly finding stinky moth balls everywhere. Even if the moth balls were years/decades old, EVERYTHING stunk of them and I absolutely hated the smell. Once something absorbed the odor, it was virtually impossible to get rid of. When I mentioned it to my mom, she said clothes moths were a common nuisance Back East (my grandparents lived in Indiana, and most of my other relatives were in Illinois & Arkansas) and most people living in that region probably had moth balls in at least one place in their house. When I asked why we'd never had problems, she said she didn't think they were able to survive in Arizona where we lived and that they eat clothes, carpets, cloth bound books; anything with cloth on them- but she'd also run into them eating the pages of her books as a kid. I myself had never had an issue with clothes moths or any other type of bug/insect eating my clothing or books. Until a few months ago. My mom used to take us to yard and estate sales as well as thrift stores regularly as we never had much money; even then, we had never had a problem with inadvertently bringing something home with destructive critters attached living here in Arizona. I still go to thrift stores, yard & estate sales and my husband loves to go with me. He recently got turned onto searching for records as I bought a turntable 5 years ago and saw that I had been finding some cool ones. So we have been purchasing a LOT of used records. All of a sudden a few months back, I started noticing a small moth flying around here and there then remembered she had mentioned clothes moths are little. They kept multiplying and now they are EVERYWHERE. I didn't notice any damage at first, but when I started vacuuming a couple days ago and was moving the cat caves made out of expensive wool from across the world, I realized they had holes all over on them and were completely covered with white speckles. When I picked them up off the floor, there was wool dust all over the place and I realized the white speckles were ungodly numbers of moth eggs. So those immediately went outside to the trash. I started checking things more thoroughly and am seeing small areas on multiple items that have begun inexplicably eroding when they were in extremely good condition when we bought them. When looking on amazon after I finished vacuuming, I ran across numerous brands of moth traps similar to this one using the clothes moth pheromones, and they were all 1.5 to 3 times the cost of these. So I took a gamble and ordered these ones as they were the lowest price ones I could find. When they got here this morning, I pulled 5 of them out of the box and cut them all open at the same time. Even though we only have 2 closets with clothing in them and a coat closet, the darned moths are virtually everywhere. The traps are quite easy to assemble and before I could even get the adhesive backing completely pulled off of ONE moth trap, I noticed 3 moths flying around me. By the time I was setting up the second trap, there were 10+ moths flying around in the kitchen nearby, and the first trap had 2 moths stuck in it already. I had also bought some cedar slabs as well as lavender and cedar sachets for the dressers and began opening those. Then I got curious and went to check one of the traps I had place in a room where one of the wool cat caves and all of sewing and embroidering equipment was located, and the trap already had 6 moths stuck in it. I'm now worried we have a bad enough infestation that I am going to have to have numerous different moth deterrents and killers on auto-ship in order to try and get them under control if not have an exterminator come out. Unfortunately, we can't bomb the place because we have 2 dogs and 6 cats. We initially just had 2 of each until a feral mama cat adopted us a few years back along with her babies and we were unable to find anyone to take any of the babies and we now have 6 cats. Yes, I tried a few different shelters in the area as well, but we ended up with them right after COVID when people having to go back to work in the office decided to dump the animals they had adopted while the pandemic was in full swing, back into the shelters they had gotten them from. None of the shelters I contacted responded and I had a couple vets that we take our pets to inform me that shelters don't consider feral cats a priority because they're "working cats" and won't take them once someone has decided to do the humane things and take them into their home. So we're stuck with them. Sadly, both the cats we already had abhor being picked up and it severely traumatizes them when I have to crate them to go to the vet, that one of them turns into a biter and won't let them look at him. One of the feral babies is still mostly feral and won't let anyone near her, one boy lets me briefly pick him up but claws me when trying to put him in a carrier, and the other feral boy won't allow anyone to pick him up. So we're most likely going to have to use a ton of these sticky traps, which I abhor knowing how inhumane they are for mice and other creatures that get caught in them. I made sure I placed them all in spots the cats can't get to. NOTE: Even though the sticky glue on these is listed as "non-toxic" and probably thinner than the glue used in rodent traps, beware of placing them anywhere that your cats, dogs, and other pets can access them. The glue is on all 3 sides of the inner section of the trap, and if they get it stuck to their paws or fur it will still tear skin and fur out trying to remove it from them; causing massive trauma and pain.

Um... wow! I bought these in desperation. I bought the least expensive brand I could find that had the best reviews, and wasn't sure what to expect... wasn't sure if they would work. I assembled four of them because we have several rooms that suddenly became infested with clothes moths, my son's room being the most infested. I had my husband hold one up high so I could decide where we should hang it, and within literal MOMENTS the thing was surrounded by a cloud of tiny glistening clothes moths. It looked like something out of a fairy tale... so funny! Apparently the pheremones are strong in this product, and those little moths were immediately turned on and just going for it! Haha! Over the course of the last two hours, we've trapped 50-60 moths. Awesome.

These work so well. I’m having a clothes moth issue in my bedroom closet. So I cleaned out my entire closet, wiped everything down, shook all my clothes out, vacuumed and dusted. Then I put 3 of these up and put everything back in my closet. These are easy to put together and hang in my closet. The little hook to hang is smaller than the bar in my closet to hang on so I just hang it from the part that holds up the bar. I’ve noticed less moths and there’s a bunch of moths caught in one of the traps. I’m thinking that’s the main hang out spot. I need to do my son’s closet next. I’m very pleased with this product and it’s affordable. There is no smell that I can notice, they actually look kind of cute, I keep them high enough so my pets don’t try to play with them. I even put one in my bathroom because I noticed those little suckers flying around in there. The closet is right next to my master bathroom. So far so good.

I bought these as part of a broader cloth moth treatment strategy and they do work in the sense that they attract and kill moths. If you're trying to figure out where your infestation is concentrated, these will tell you that. I had them placed around my closet and carpets and they definitely caught moths. That said, I didn't find them effective enough to actually control the population. They felt more like an indicator of where the problem was rather than something that was actively making a dent. I've used Dr. Killigan's traps as well and found those significantly more effective at actually bringing numbers down over time. For the price they're not a bad addition to a broader treatment plan. I just wouldn't rely on these alone if you're dealing with an active infestation. Think of them more as a monitoring tool than a solution.

I’ve now purchased these a few times and have been very pleased & surprised with the results. I decided to hang one in each closet. Much to my surprise, I couldn’t believe how many tiny months were on the traps. Since then, I’ve made it a routine to place a fresh trap in each closet. They don’t have a smell and are so easy to set up. Definitely an excellent purchase!

They catch some of our common, webbing clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella). There surely are much better traps available from other brands (industry grade used in hotels) which cost around $100 for ca 3 months treatment. These here are much cheaper and cannot be expected to draw moths out of cracks - but they will catch some over time if a population is present. The 16 pack come wrapped in 8 packs of 2. The 8 pack are individually wrapped. Try a few different places (floor, hanger, outside closet) to gauge "hot spots". Beautifully golden, unicolor webbing moths love to eat away at furs, wool and silk fabrics, all your natural clothing, carpets, and they adore dark spaces with little to no disturbance. They will find hair, cotton, paper or any fuzz enough to live on once established. They do not live in pantries or eat food supplies. These traps work in that a few males get stuck, along with other occasional insects like ants, spiders who end up on the paper and die exhausted after dragging halfway over. Please show kindness and check your traps to shorten desperate battles that last days. These traps are sticky enough to trap mice, so don't get your fingers in there. These traps will NOT rid us of the moth problem, but they show us that it persists months after our first clean-through. De-moth strategies (it's a drag or a toss, sometimes both) without poisoning the home: - Toss any garment with several holes unless you want to have them chemically cleaned. - We tried freezing most of our wool clothes outside in deep winter, way below freezing. - We will try next to heat our entire closet in the car when it's hot enough outdoors. At full sun, checking the thermometer shows no less than 55°C or 130°F for an hour. - Wash everything that can be washed on hot (60°C > 30min). - On a regular basis, vacuum (corners, cracks) and wipe surfaces with water and a little vinegar. - We think some safe spaces will always remain (e.g. ducts). Disturbing the population often should help keep in control, though. - Essential oils, as in cedar wood, are said help in preventing a moth problem. We have always kept cedar balls (oil or sand every 6 months) and satchels of lavender blossom (2 years if fresh) in our laundry, especially with delicates. Large amounts of oils irritate us and our pet and will not deter an existing infestation. - Never put unwashed clothes in the closet (sweat spots are said to attract moths - try Atsko sports wash to remove smells gently and healthily). We expect to keep using these traps for years to come, exchanging them every 2-3 months (just our guess at how long they last)... and go through it all over and again as soon as the population recovers. Hopefully no more than twice a year. When there's a rise in numbers, we also use live Trichogramma wasps. They lay eggs in the moth eggs, so their larvae never develop into their clothes-eating stage. Keep unleashing the wasps every two weeks until the glue traps show the webbing moth population has diminished.

These clothes moth traps are pretty good, but not great. They do attract and trap cloth moths, but not as much as we would like. We see some of the cloth moths just hanging out on the wall near the trap, but not going into the trap. Maybe that's just the female moths, as the pheromones will only attract the male moths. After using this product for over a year (and replacing the traps as needed), we still have clothes moths, but likely fewer moths than if we didn't have the traps. We searched, but didn't find any date codes on the packaging or traps, so we have no idea if Amazon is selling us old traps. Historically, some products we have received from Amazon are past their expiration dates.

This brand worked much better than other brands I tried, but the price slightly expensive. I think the scent or pheromone used in this brand attracts the moths better. As you can see in the photo, this brand attracted more moths than the other brand. Speed of Effectiveness: There were hundreds of moths in my brother’s house because he had been dying of cancer was unable to maintain his home. Bug light zappers do not attract or kill pantry or clothes moths. Only scented glue traps work. I needed something that would work quickly to thin out the population, and these worked. These sneaky pantry and clothes moths are very good at hiding. Even when I brought some of my brother’s belongings to my home, some moths hitched a ride. I had to use these glue traps all over my home as well to kill them before they infested my home. Be proactive. Even if you don’t see moths, place these traps everywhere. You will see them stuck to the traps soon. These traps are easy to use. You simply peel off the slick paper to reveal the glue part. Fold the trap into a tent and tuck the edge into the hole under the round hanger at the top. They work best when folded because moths instinctively like to hide in dark places. They didn’t always stay closed in the tent shape so I would tape some to keep them closed. Appearance: These are small like the size of a postcard. I wish they were bigger with sturdier hangers but it is not bad either. Safety: They are pet friendly as long as they are hanging somewhere high enough where your pets cannot reach them. It is non-toxic to pets and humans, which is great! If you happen to accidentally touch the glue, simply use a little cold olive oil, coconut oil, other cooking oil or even baby oil or mineral oil to remove the glue. Then, wash with some soap and water.

Great product. Use these for trapping and monitoring carpet/clothes moths after locating and cleaning up the problem, (vacuum an steam treatment). My Wife and I were horrified that these invasive pests have invaded our home and destroying carpets and the traps helped us identify where tge problems were focussed. Goodluck is you are dealing with this.

Work well.. they attract moths better than any other trap I’ve bought. Takes a while to trap the adults and stop the breeding cycle… almost a year but they do work

Four traps were distributed in a room with moths (around 2 per day), never once did any moth end up in a trap. Clearly a broken product was delivered to me.

Hace tres semanas que coloqué las Moth traps en roperos y clósets. No ha caído ninguna y siguen revoloteando como si nada en las habitaciones de mi casa.

I purchased one 16 pack of these moth traps, thinking I didn't really need them as much as I needed some traps for moths I noticed in the pantry. (So I bought two 20 packs of those.) Well... have a look! Was I wrong or what?!! I put a few of these traps here and there in my closets and dark places around my bedrooms and dressing room just as a precaution. Thought I wouldn't catch much bcuz I only ever saw one or two moths in my clothes areas. You can see for yourself tho', the number of moths I caught over the fall and wintertime! And these are mostly males too, as they're the ones attracted to the pheromones in the traps! Meaning... most of the females are still out there! Yuck! Even though I am careful, and keep my silks, woolens, shearling items, and furs in cotton storage bags when I'm not wearing them, all these fine fabrics in my closets were in danger anyway, and I never knew it. You think you have no moths until the change of seasons comes. You begin to think about your change of wardrobe and switching out your closets, you pull out these moth traps... and... holy smokes!!! Moths. Ugh!! Lots of them!! Double ugh!! Highly recommend these traps. Very impressed with this product, and very glad I decided to purchase in the first place, even tho' I really didn't think I needed them. Well, I needed them alright. I have none of these traps left now, and will definitely order more. They work, obviously! Two thumbs up.
