Greenway Clothing Moth Traps with Powerful Pheromone Lures for Effective, Odor-Free Closet Protection, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly & Long-Lasting Solution, 1 Packs (Includes 2 Traps & 2 Lures)

I had pest services come out and bomb my apartment after I had an attack of clothes moths. I also took all my clothing, bedding, etc either to the cleaners or to the laundry (to wash in super hot water). For several months everything seemed to me fine. Then every once in a while I would see a lone clothes moth fly by me. Then it began to happen more often. This is when I decided to purchase the GreenWay Clothes Moth Traps. I first purchased one package. This trapped a few little fellows, and I no longer saw any around my apartment. Then by accident my friend who was helping me clean threw the traps away not knowing what they were. So just recently having found to more live clothes moths flying around, I bought two more sets. They have been up for about a month now and I have seen about two or three clothes moths in a couple of them and none flying around anywhere in my apartment. So they appear to be working really well and they are a whole lot cheaper then having the pest service come out and bomb again. So I am very happy with them. Hopefully they will keep those little moths away forever. Just in case I will be purchasing new ones every few months however. I hope to never see any of those little fellows ever again. They cost me way too much money, time and effort. I was delighted therefore to find how well the GreenWay Clothes Moth Traps appear to be working and pray they will continue to do so!

These traps work extremely well for CASE-MAKING CLOTHING MOTHS. Those moths only fly in the dark so I almost never see them. Yet in the first 6 weeks of use I've caught 76 moths. 30 in one trap alone. I plan to keep using them because I figure it will take several rounds (the pheromes in the trap are good for about 60 days) to catch any that previous traps missed. I have them all over the house even though most are in one room. Do not stop using the traps after one 60-day application. Most likely you've missed some and there will be more eggs, larvae and moths for months to come. Make sure you put them in dark corners and mid height, like on the tops of low shelves or low dressers. The females stay low to the ground, the males fly a little higher.Overall using the traps (and spray) is much cheaper and less stressful than using an exterminator. For an exterminator to do the best job you need to pull literally everything away from the baseboards in every room and be out of the house with pets for at least 4 hours. Plus, you would have to go through this procedure more than once to get subsequent rounds of eggs, larvae and moths as I mentioned above. Also, after I talked to more than one exterminator, I realized that they will never treat for them in some of the places that I found the larvae, Exterminators usually spray around baseboards, corners, carpet and do not check the edges of every box and item in your house. They may spray in closets, but you still need to go through EVERY piece of clothing looking for ones hiding there. Some exterminators didn't even know what CASE-MAKING CLOTHING MOTHS are. It was easier for me to get the right spray and go through dressers, closets, etc one section at a time emptying, spraying, let dry and put back. I've been at it for more than 6 months. It is not easy...expect it to take months or more to get every last one. I'm getting there...finding less and less (I keep a spread sheet to show where in the house I've been finding them and can see that I'm finding less and less. I number and date each trap.)These traps DO NOT catch the larvae. That's not really an issue since no matter how much I've sprayed everywhere with the approprate spray (the spray needs to have pyrethrins in it to work on the larvae), I'll never get all of the larvae. Also, larvae traps are MUCH more expensive.These larvae hide up under baseboards in the insulation, deep in carpet, behind moldings, inside the edges of corrugated boxes, between and under hardwood flooring stips, and many places that spray would never reach, even when applied by a professional because the professionals don't realize these larvae DO EAT the fuzz on the edges of corrugated boxes and on rough unfinished wood. (I've found larvae in all of these locations, that's why I can say this.) Don't let the name "clothing moths" fool you...they eat much more...they like fuzz.Just so you know, I ended up purchasing 2 cases of the traps directly from the manufacturer...they were less expensive because of quantity discount. And they're worth it.The photos are of the larvae and one trap full of the moths.

After reading other reviews of various moth traps available, I got these and one other brand to try to catch moths that have been flying around for a week or so. I was able to determine they were clothing moths as I found a wool blanket in our garage that the painter left and hadn't come back for and it had a number of moths inside. Obviously I removed it and put it in the trash, but the moths had been making it into the house through the door to the garage on the laundry porch when we went in and out. I've had these traps out for at least a week and we didn't catch one moth, though they fly right by! Don't waste your money on these. They don't work! I put some in our closet too because I saw a couple flying around there but they didn't go into the traps. I've had to catch them by hand. As a final FYI, I bought another brand as well to try and see which one would work. That brand in a black package with the word Kill as the first part of the name caught one and only one. I was very disappointed in both brands and have had to resort to continuing to swat them by hand.

These traps are unlikely to eliminate clothes moths from your home, but they will help you monitor the extent of an infestation, alert you if an infestation has returned, and work in conjunction with other, more aggressive methods. They are simple to set up and totally safe around pets, kids, etc. Of the two traps, one caught about four times more moths than the other, which was a little odd. I thought maybe this was due to its placement but even after I moved it the moths mostly ignored it. So maybe the strength of the pheromone can vary? Overall, a good, safe option, but if you have a serious infestation, you will need to use these as part of a multi-pronged approach.

You have to be patient but eventually these will rid your house of wool eating moths. Keep them fresh and you’ll see fewer moths over time until there are none. And your sweaters don’t smell like grandma’s closet.

I've previously used these traps with success, but the current set of cloths moths ignore these traps. They only work for about 1 week at most. I've since moved to a different brand as this could be an issue with desensitization.
