This works
April 27, 2009
Verified Purchase
My wife was in despair about her knitting stash. The moths were eating the wool yarn and our clothes. We have cats and dogs so wanted a safe system. I previously had good luck with Japanese Beetle Pheromone traps over my roses, so I hung one ProPest Clothes Moth Trap up in each affected room and within 2 weeks we had hundreds of stuck moths and only a few lonely females flying around. Better and safer than poisons or moth balls.

Best Traps EVER!
November 14, 2010
Verified Purchase
I bought another brand of trap that was locally available at the hardware store. It didn't do anything.
The ProPest trap is FANTASTIC! We have a very old item that was pulled from a basement and was moth infested. When I opened the ProPest strip, the moths literally came flying out and were all over the place.
GREAT trap!

Excellent moth traps!
July 8, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have used these moth traps for 8 months after extensive damage to clothing in closets.
They are excellent and I highly recommend them.
Do not be alarmed if at first they seem to be doing nothing. I put them in problematic closets and first couple of weeks we caught nothing.
We then went away for an extended vacation and upon our return the traps were full.
We are on our third set and we always keep them in our closet from here on out. I will NEVER be without them!
NOTE: TWO THINGS:
1. They need to be changed every three to four months to keep attracting moths.
2. Do not put too many in a closet, as actually I read that it confuses them w too much of the pheromone. Just one trap per closet!

ProPest Clothes Moth Trap
June 4, 2010

Unfortunately, these "pre-baited" packs do not work as well as the old model traps where you had to put the pheromone bait in place yourself. I had these traps out for 2 weeks before a moth was caught. I have 6-month old previous model traps that are doing a better job. I will probably not be purchasing this item again. Please bring back the old style trap!

Are the positive reviews fake?
December 5, 2011
There is a split in reviews between one star and five star that is concerning. The one star reviews sound like they were written by real customers. Several of the five star reviews are suspiciously similar, generic and sound like they were from the manufacturer's brochure. Concerning as posting fake reviews is a fairly common practice with internet businesses these days.

Lots of Room for improvement
January 5, 2011
Verified Purchase
I don't know what's happening with ProPest's products but they just aren't as good as the original order I received and was very happy with; however, this last order was effective on one moth. I'm assuming he got tired and only landed for a rest, because others fly right past the traps and are either blind or there is nothing in the traps but glue. Where's a pheromone which is attractive to the moths luring them to the traps? Did you forget it? Or are you cutting corners and trying to save money? This formula is barely effective. Go back to your original formula that worked and stop wasting paper, glue and your time and my money. This review has nothing to do with my satisfaction with DoMyOwnPestControl.com I'm very pleased with them; just not this product.

My 2nd order
November 28, 2010
Verified Purchase
I like that the whole trap is active with lure after pulling off the protective paper. My judgement finds this catches more moths on all sides. I've tried Safer brand with a separate lure patch that sometimes I can drop centered and sometimes ends up stuck close to an edge. I can counter that issue by putting the lure into the sticky and then folding the trap, but seems the other side never catches as many bugs.

So far, no results
May 16, 2011

I set up the traps as soon as they arrived, but have caught nothing as of this writing. I know I have clothes moths in the house, because I just discovered some holes in one of my favorite wool ties. I don't know if the traps had already lost their "power" or what, but they don't seem to be working.

Not super impressed.
August 1, 2011
Verified Purchase
I learned so much from this website about my moth problem. What kind I have, where to look, what to do. I had a veritable infestation. They were circling the lights at night, dive-bombing the computer screen. I'd smooth ten in the staircase at it's peak.
It's all over now. The culprit Persian rugs in the moist basement have been dealt with and won't be moving back.
But the traps did little. I had two in a four floor 3-4000 sq foot house. Caught maybe six moths each after a few days when I'm telling you there were hundreds.

Not as good as expected
May 14, 2012
These traps were definitely not as good as expected. The glue is only moderately sticky so the moth has to really settle onto it before he gets stuck. I had used the spray first so I only had a few stray moths left after spraying and I put the trap right next to the moth and he was not the least bit interested in it. I finally had to set the trap over the moth and he flew around inside the trap and bumped into the wall several times before he finally became stuck. Next time I'll probably just use the spray and pass on the traps.

Does the job almost too well
April 14, 2012
The pheromones in these traps are so potent that I literally had moths swarming around me before I even opened the sealed cellophane envelope around the traps! Even more impressive was the fact that when I opened the box, a single moth flew out. Ironic, but when you think about, it shows that some time during shipping, a moth could sense the hormones even through the sealed traps and the closed cardboard box, and found a way to get in. Very impressive.
Although I don't think that the traps completely eradicate all moths (I believe that this was explained on your website), this is the next best thing, and if I need to, I will be reordering. Thank you for producing a product that actually delivers on its promises.

NO STARS .It doesn't work. Moths flying around and seen on fabric, but none on the traps. I called and was told I probably have the wrong type of moths. It might help if your literature described which moths the traps work on.

ProPest Clothes Moth Traps
April 13, 2012
After 2 weeks of placing two clothes moth traps in my home on separate floors I did not catch one moth. I had a serious moth infestation for approx. one month. I did go to Home Depot and got Pet/Child Safety spray for flying insects and it worked great. It is a combination of plant oils. As far as these moth traps go, I would never purchase them again. Waste of my money.
I would not give it a rating of one star, except that it is required.

I agree that my previous traps where you added the pheromone disc worked out soooo much better. I know there are moths present but your traps do not trap them. I would not purchase again.

Mixed bag
May 16, 2012
First time I purchased the traps were amazing. This time, one moth in a bit over a week. Also, this time the trap came apart trying to get protective paper off.
Unsure if I'll buy again. First time awesome, second time washout.

Works for me
July 8, 2012
This remedy for clothes moth infestations (any number more than three, by my calculation!) does exactly what it claims to do. Surprised me, I feared only handfuls of moth balls would do the job.

IT WORKS!!!
July 17, 2012
I was astonished to see that 2 moths started to hover around the sealed package with the traps before I even opened it! After I've placed the traps in my closet, I went to check after 10 minutes and there were 3 moths already! I will also use the Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate to spray the areas, as the traps don't kill moth larvae, only help to reduce moth population by trapping the adults. But it definitely works as described!

Sticking It to the Clothes Moths!
October 27, 2012
Verified Purchase
I've tried other supposed clothes moths traps and never caught a single mothe in them, so I wasn't expecting much. Hah.
I got two traps, one for the room where a carpet was being devoured, and one to put near the television screen, whose light attracts moths. There were a dozen or so moths in each the first morning, and the next morning a handful more in the TV trap and 10 or so more in the carpet room trap. Then the catch dwindled rapidly -- but I'm not seeing moths flying around. I'll get a few more traps for a check, soon, perhaps.
The traps I was sent have a black and white checkered pattern on them, so are perhaps not the same as the ones reviewers complained caught no moths. They're pre-baited (thank goodness, I can never get those little cardboard chips in the right place).

First time customer. Put one in our most used closet and within 2 days had caught two moths which were definitely not pantry moths. Hope I'm not too late to end the wool munch, but it has encouraged me to replace the traps on a schedule.
