TRAP A PEST Clothing Moth - 8 Pack - Non Toxic Moth for Clothes with Pheromone Attractant - Odorless Sticky for Closet, Carpets

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.

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.

very surprised and impressed with how well these work. I had a clothing moth problem / infestation. I placed about 4 x of these around the area I thought they were coming from (1x in wardrobe and 3 x near bedside lamps). Each trap caught around 4+ small moths over several days (plus a spider). Combined with me spraying and killing moths when I saw them, this completely fixed my problem. Putting on a bedside lamp at night worked well in attracting the moths to one place

I cannot be without these. My wardrobe is moth contaminated - it is a constant battle. These traps collect a huge amount of flying pests and it is very satisfying. I recommend highly.

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.
