Product Description
Pro-Pest Pheronet Traps for Pantry Pests are our our Pheronet Traps conveniently packaged in a 2 pack. The pheromones in Pro-Pest Pantry Traps will attract Indian Meal Moth, Almond, Raisin, Tobacco, and Mediterranean Flour Moths and Cigarette Beetles. Each package contains 2 traps. Take one or two traps out of the plastic sleeve, fold trap into a triangular trap. Since pheromones are pre-loaded in the glue, it is ready to use! Traps can be hung or can be placed on a shelf. If you smoke wash your hands before handling any trap as the nicotine could contaminate the trap causing the pests to avoid the trap rather than pursue it!

This works! by anonymous 5 Stars
November 15, 2009
This product works as advertised! As soon as I took the traps out of the plastic, nearby moths started going crazy for the (undetectable, to me) scent. The product states that it works for 60 days, so I kept the traps out for 60 days and then put out new ones to catch the (very few) remaining stragglers. The reason the traps needed to be kept out for so long is not because the traps are not immediately effective but because of the life cycle of the moths - new ones were apparently still being hatched for awhile (yuck). Anyway, I definitely recommend this product. The only downside is that they have to be kept out in the open, so you can see all the dead and dying moths, which to me was both sad and gross. We kept ours fairly high up so they weren't as noticable. I liked that they were both non-toxic and effective. I would buy them again (although hopefully I won't ever need to) and recommend them to anyone else with a pantry moth problem.

This product works at first time, but by S. Clements (San Jose, CA USA) 3 Stars

I purchased this products several months ago, it worked great, so I placed another order few weeks back, but the second time, it did not work well. I saw few mothes still flying around the kitchen but not attract to the Pheronet. Does anybody have the same experiences?

Thanks for your prompt service. We are having a moth invasion. this is a much better price than the ones I was using and works just as well.

Work Great, but only for the Male Moths! by Susan (Southeastern PA) 5 Stars
August 30, 2009
We've had problems with Indian Meal Moths for three years now, on and off. We have a parrot, and they first arrived in a bag of seed. Despite repeated attempts of thoroughly cleaning out all of my cabinets, throwing out food and spices, keeping the bird's cage clean, changing his food (and keeping it in the freezer), keeping the dog food in a closed container, vacuuming the ceiling multiple times every day, washing down canned goods, moving out appliances and many other attempts to try to finally get rid of these annoying pests, I am at the point of getting insecticides. These traps are great, with reservations. Yes, when you remove them from the package, you are swarmed, depending on how many moths you currently have, but they only attract the male moths. The females are not attracted. They also do nothing for the worms. There are four cycles to these little buggers: egg, larvae (worm), cocoon, and moth. We suck up those nasty worms constantly with the vacuum (don't forget to change the bag or empty the canister). Don't get the wrong idea, it's not like we have a million of them - they come in cycles. We get worms for a few weeks, with minimal moths, and we suck up maybe 10 - 15 worms in the morning then the same amount after work and a few more here and there during the evening. But we make sure none that we see turn into cocoons. Since we still get more moths, they are obviously turning into cocoons somewhere! Then we see just the moths for awhile, sometimes in fairly large numbers, then they tend to dwindle. Then the whole thing starts up again. We don't see any of them in the winter. At that point, I tear the kitchen & dining room apart and clean like mad, getting rid of all of their favorite foods in the cabinets, but somehow, it doesn't seem to matter, because they come back again every year. So if you have them, these traps are great, but if the infestation has recently started just get on top of it really fast. And get rid of their food source so their life cycle is interrupted. If you can do that, you can get rid of them. That's something I haven't been able to do. They like flour, pasta, cereals, cornmeal, spices, dry pet foods, especially bird seed, dried fruits and flowers (including decorative wall hangings), and even rodent bait, among other things. I have to go online and order more of these pheromone traps now, but I have also decided, reluctantly, after doing some research, to purchase an insect growth regulator (hydroprene - to take care of the worms) and an insecticide (esfenvalerate - for the egg stage). I don't know any brand names and I didn't want to go this far, but I've had enough. My infestation is too long running for just these traps, food source removal and cleaning. I hope you have better luck than I've had! These traps are a great first step, but don't stop here. Get rid of their food and clean, clean, clean!

They work for a time by R. J. Frere 5 Stars

My pantry moths originated from my birds and have spread from there. These moth traps work great. You must be ready to place the traps prior to opening the package. As soon as the plastic is removed, the moths began swarming around me! The traps do a wonderful job at catching the live moths. In doing so they prevent them from breeding. However, the larvae that have yet to hatch aren't attracted and may never be since the trap can be full and/or the pheromones could be faded by time they hatch. These traps won't work completely unless you buy enough to stop multiple life cycles or completely clean out all of your cabinets, bird seeds and "nesting" sites. Sadly, I've missed some and am starting over again! These are the only traps that I will use in my quest for moth freedom!
