 Solving the Moth Problem August 7, 2008

Woodstream 05140 Safer Pantry Pest Trap (2 per box)
I have had great results with this product. Those who say they work for a while and then quit need to remember that the traps are only meant to catch flying stages of the insect. I use these traps once or twice a year, whenever I see a moth or two, once the infestation problem has been solved.
1) Use Pantry Pest Traps to eliminate all ADULT moths.
2) Next, go on a larva hunt (in the early stages they look like caraway seeds -- dark little crescent shapes about 1/8" long). Check all the food in your cabinets. Take it all out. Anything can house larva. Look in the flour, cereals, boxes, bags, anything with a seam or crevice. Think like a mother -- she is trying to hide her young so that they will survive!
3) We have a pantry cabinet with adjustable shelves. When moths kept coming back, I got a flashlight and discovered that there was larva in every single hole for the shelf brackets. Swabbing the holes with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol produced mixed results, so I finally placed a piece of tape over each hole. If the larva survived the alcohol, they starved to death in their little cell.
Using this method, I buy traps when moths come in with the groceries. I use canvas shopping bags that I wash every now and then so that the bags from the store (especially paper bags) don't bring in larva.

For some reason [unknown to me] I find these traps to be more effective when the pantry door is closed. Maybe the natural air circulation in an open room dilutes the pheromone scent. Anyway these traps have been VERY effective at stopping several infestations within a week. I now keep a couple on hand and bring them out when I see moths flying about. The package says they should be replaced every three months.
 No longer works with new bait enclosed December 24, 2006

The trap worked well when it came with a square bait package that was fit into the back slot. The bait was changed to a square pink piece that sticks to the inside of the trap
It is compltely ineffective. Moths fly all aroound the pantry. infest boxes of food, and never go near the trap. If you trap a moth in there yourself, it doesnt stick to the glue, and flies right back out.
I have made this known to the Safer mfg. co. as soon as they changed the bait but they have done nothing.We have wasted about $100 on these traps in the past year. Have found nothing to replace it since other companies are using the same kind of bait.
 worked great for awhile May 13, 2007

I was impressed how many moths I trapped in just the first day...I put the second one in a different place and didn't catch any...I still see a bunch of them flying around and don't seem to be trapping them anymore..I thought they were good for 7 months...I threw out everything they had gotten into but they are still around...not sure I will try these again
No more moths! November 13, 2006

My parents are pack rats and they don't throw away many things ... because of this they have expired dried food ... so every time I go home their house is like a moth farm. Moths were flying in my face, near my food ... they were just everywhere.
I bought a couple of these traps and put them up near their food source (flour, grains, crackers, cereal, etc.) and hoped that they would help. A month later my parents called and told me how great the traps were ... they were very thankful. I didn't know how effective these traps were until I visisted my parents' home again .. I did not see one moth! Very impressed .. and I would recommend this product to anyone.
