12-Pack Clothing Moth Traps with Pheromone Attractant

Ugh! Nothing's worse than clothes moths! Most of these traps just don't work. Don't even bother with the cheap ones they sell. I've tried them all, and this one works great and is economical, with 12 traps in one package. The other brand that works just as well has a blue and yellow box, but this brand gives you many more traps for the money. The trick? Use as many traps as possible, strategically placed, write the date on them and change every 3 months! Keep an extra pack on hand for when warm weather rolls around again. At the same time as using these traps (which only catch male moths), catch any moths you can each day with a cordless wand vac, and wash and treat clothes, carpets, etc. (freezing garments and small rugs in plastic bags for a week works). These traps are easy to use, are safe (if very sticky) around pets and kids, and have no odor at all. Moths are stubborn, but along with vigilance and using other methods along with them, these traps will go a long way in helping to eradicate your moth problem!

This low tech, no odor, moth trap solution does work!

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 moth infestation calls for hours of work and maintenance. One tool that I use in the regimen I have developed over the years is 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 (GreenWay Clothing Moth Traps). Between the two, I would rate them both at 4 stars, but I do prefer GreenWay slightly over this brand as I find when it works, GreenWay seems to attract slightly more than the this brand. (I use them both at the same time and plan to continue using both.) 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 only the 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.) -When put together, the trap has a flat bottom, making it easy to sit on surfaces. -There is a built-in hook that makes it easy to hang the trap in closets or other areas. - Less expensive than the other brand I purchase. CONS: -The plastic that you remove to expose the sticky coating is often difficult to remove on one side and you inevitably get sticky stuff on your hand or elsewhere as you struggle to pull it off on one side. -The pheromone is 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 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. Since the sticky stuff on these traps is laced with moth-attracting pheromones, I don't like having pheromone laced sticky stuff stuck to my shirt or other area. Keeping the traps cool seems to help with both these cons somewhat. 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 where I have seen moths to help 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 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 from doing this. Alternatively, if it is summer/hot, 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 few 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!

This product works very well.

I've tried a few different brands and these Faicuk traps may have been the most successful at attracting and trapping clothes moths. Surprisingly, this trap caught several times more than the one from the biggest name brand. All the traps were set up in about the same location. The only trap that may have been more successful was one given to me by a professional exterminator.

I have used these moth killers for years. They are very effective and simple to use. However, this new batch has so much "sticky goo" that the plastic sheet cover WILL NOT COOME OFF. Something is WRONG. I have tested most of the whole batch and even put the 12-Pack in the refrigerator thinking that the heat of the shipment did something to the sticky material, but to no avail.

They work!

I have carpet moths in my bedroom and bought these to try to take them out. CONS: I haven't seen but a couple of moths in the trap when my flea traps have many more. So I'm not sure if these traps are not working because the flea traps are catching the moths first and they are not making it the moth traps. I will give it three stars because they may be functional if used alone without any other traps in the room. PROS: These are very easy to use and for the cost I still think it was worth the money it to try these out. They seem to be durable as long as you place them somewhere that they won't get crushed. So if you think you may have a moth problem give these a try, they may work for you.
