Pantry Moth Trap

This is the second 2 pack I have bought of these...Except that the other pack was a different brand and more expensive..So this time I got these and they are the exact same thing. Same size with sticky surface inside, lure pad that you attach, and same instructions. The only difference with these is the other more expensive brand comes already put together with all you having to do is apply the lure pad. These come flat and have to be folded where you might get your fingers on the sticky part...But its simple and the effort is very much worth the savings. Had it up and running in less than 30 sec...As to the way they work, so far this is performing the same way as the other ones I had which is excellent...Though its true that these traps attract and catch only male moths, that is all you need. It will take a few days to be really noticed, but the collection of dead moths will appear in the trap and you will notice a very discernible difference in the number of moths flying around. Without the male moths, the females can't mate and eventually the whole herd dies off...I know for a fact it works just that simply for the other brand I had was up for better than two months and got full of moths and the house was cleaned out...Unfortunately they returned for another season and I got one of these going again to corral the varmints...Though this brand doesn't mention it, the other one said that one of these can easily cover 1200 sq feet. Just enough for one to handle it in my home and I saved the other one...The two pack should be enough for near any size house... In conclusion, this Terro brand appears to be the very same product, and more importantly, is working the very same way as the other brand I bought here which was over $3 more expensive...Just remember to be patient with it and plan to leave it up for at least a couple of months. It's good deal money wise and very effective for your moth problem...( I have researched moths in the house online and don't bother to try to locate the source anymore as they suggest...I just can't find anything). Go for it....Very much recommended..

I really hat to give a bad review but people must be warned when something doe snot work at all and this brand is just that. I've used these through the years as they are the only thing that works on kitchen moths when you forget about that old box of cereal in the back of the pantry and you end up with moths. Usually once you open the little package of hormones they come flying from across the room immediately. My local store was out so I ordered these on Amazon. I would call this product s#!t but an actual steaming hot turd would attract more moths than the zero moths this brand attracted... in three days! Zero. They accidentally put in a third package of attractant and I added this as well. Nothing. Nothing in the box worked at all out of 3. Hopping up on the counter and lets say... providing your own, will result in more success. Zero stars.

I am copying my review for the other bunch of these I also bought from Amazon. My original order did not end up being what i had intended to order so I order again! ############### This review is from: Terro 2900 Pantry Moth Traps received a couple of days ago. The population has virtually stopped. Nary a moth flying anywhere, when the air was thick in all twelve rooms, plus the pantry. We never did find out where they originated. ############### I ordered a bunch of these as we seem to have somehow encouraged a huge number of moths everywhere flying in this 12 room Victorian house. Two or three hours after placing these everywhere, we were down to two moths. The attractant lures boy moths to find girl moths. Poor things - they die with their wings stuck to the (old-fashioned fly paper) sticky paper surrounding the attractant. While I hate seeing anything suffer, it was down to them or us. These are all cereal-type moths but where they came from, we have no clue. Without these traps we would be going crazy. My husband has always used the "applause method." But clapping all over the place did not diminish the population and we will be needing more and more of these traps if they have already laid eggs. Good luck to you all and good product...so good luck to us, too! nmorse

The second I set it up, I had 2 moths fly into it, I was amazed and excited I was finally going to get rid of all my pantry moths. About 2 days later I checked on my trap and wow....it had about 30 moths in there. I deducted a star only because it didn't work 100% of the time. I had moths chilling right next to my trap. Some were creating more, if you know what I mean, some were still flying all around my kitchen. For the most part it works. I just don't like that it stops working if that makes sense, even after a few days. And no, my traps weren't full with moths, there was still plenty of empty spaces for them to get trapped.

The TERRO Pantry Moth Traps are highly recommended. They effectively attracted and trapped moths on their sticky surfaces. The results were excellent; moths disappeared within a few days of use. This product is one of the safest and easiest traps available, delivering on its promise when other brands have failed. I couldn't be happier with the results

When I opened the trap- I noticed that immediately moths were drawn to it. The problem is- they walk all over & never STICK! So it's good for drawing them to a location- just for me to vacuum them up. This means I'm on constant patrol with vacuum hose in hand like some crazed combat-fatigued ex-warrior. It's been 10 days and after removing the food source (forgotten bag of bird seed- YUCK) and cleaning like mad- I have made a huge dents in these critters. I would prefer they stuck their a$$es to the trap so I can relax- but no dice. I vacuum 10 or so every few hours. I suspect these are newly hatched & EVENTUALLY I will be ahead......

Update: So I originally placed the traps in my garage on a table, and another on my sons dresser. After a few days of those yielded no results, I gave up on moths and I placed one trap on the ground for crickets. I placed the trap on the outside of our garage door on the ground at dusk, and this morning, out of curiosity, checked it and it had caught a few dozen small moths and a dozen or so baby crickets! Although the trap was outside, I like to think it will help keep their numbers down to prevent them from coming in my home. I'm baffled why putting the trap on the ground was more effective than a table top, as I assumed they would be flying and smell the hormones in the trap and go to it... bugs are an enigma. I will note the moths in the trap were smaller than the ones I have caught in my house. I'm not a bug expert so I do not know if they were different species or just at a younger stage in life. I do know the large moths have been in our pantry, bedrooms, and love our garage. Original This year our home was oddly infested with moths. I was hopeful to have traps so that I didnt have to spend time trying to catch the obnoxious buggers. The eavning the product arrived, I placed the traps in my sons room, next to where I clearly saw 2 moths on his wall and left them there overnight. Not a single moth. I ended up having to chase and catch the two in his room. The other trap I put in our garage, as litterally every time I would open our door, at least one moth would fly in. It's been a few days and not a single moth has been trapped. My traps are still bare. Now, I understand each bug is different and attracted to different things, but when I opened the lure, there was no smell to it like oher terro traps I have used. I'm guessing the lure was dried out? Im still going to use the traps, but relocate them the floor to try and catch crickets instead. Wished these would have worked, I REALLY hate moths. Terro is a great brand, but this particular item was a dud. Maybe I will try again and have better luck next time.

I trust this brand. Now, not so much. I’ve been battling with pantry moths and the product that comes with a plastic holder worked great, but this one was terrible. I bought 3 2pks. I put 2 in my pantry. I put them higher up. I had to use scotch tape at this didn’t have anything to affix it to the wall (I don’t have shelf space in my pantry to put these. I was disappointed that it didn’t come with double sided tape.). I checked them daily for several days and there weren’t any moths caught inside either trap. Then one day while I checked, and watched a pantry moth was literally hopping from one side to the other, not sticking to the glue service and then flew out of it (yes, I removed the plastic covering the glue when I set them up and yes the pheromone square thingy is in them). So it’s completely worthless and I can’t return it since it’s opened and “used”. I will be returning the other two boxes. Do not recommend. (The photos were after 3 days)

Initial days it caught very few moths and flies. Subsequent days - after a week or so there were suddenly very few moths and in a month no more moths. The photo is after one week of use. The traps had caught all of them in about a month time. Very effective on fruit flies too.

It's true to say these have caught a couple of moths but not enough. We have four of these at home in various points in the kitchen but the moths keep coming and they have caught no new moths for the past couple of weeks. It makes me think that the pheromones have stopped working already. Would I buy them again...... probably not.

Took long to ship and when it finally arrived it just didn't work. My wife ended up catching one or two by swatting the moths with this trap!

It is not attracting the moths to come and sit. Not a good reward for the amount of money charged for the product.

Its been a couple of days and between the two traps in the pack there are already 14 moths. I'd give it a 5 if it wasn't so expensive.
