MaxGuard Pantry Moth Traps 8 Pack

I’ll get right to the point—MaxGuard Pantry Moth Traps do what they are advertised to do: trap and kill pantry moths (the ones that get trapped). The traps are very sticky—I have long hair, so…yeah. Otherwise they are safe and easy to set up and last for a few months or until they get full. I can’t attest to whether or not they attract the male moths (how can I tell?). They haven’t eliminated the problem by stopping the breeding cycle, so I’m guessing the traps don’t catch ALL the males. The traps do, however, help.My cautionary tale: I have a pantry moth problem—obviously. The nasty beasties hitched a ride in a bag of dry dog food a couple of years ago and have been unwelcome house guests since. Once I identified what they were, I ordered 2 brands of traps, this brand being one. Both worked to cut down on the growing population, but neither eliminated them. I slightly favored the other brand, but it may have been a location issue. It seemed to catch more moths, although it involved an extra step to set up—applying a tablet to the sticky inner surface to supposedly attract them. Time came to reorder and the other brand had risen in price disproportionately to its value so I ordered more of the MaxGuard brand (and have since continued to order it).As I mentioned before, it doesn’t eliminate the problem, but it does help keep it under control. They are worse in the summer during which time I have found their larva in some newly purchased items, like grain products. I presently have hopes for a total wipe-out which will take an intensified assault. I plan to initiate one this fall by emptying my pantry, throwing out anything that isn’t in jars or bottles or cans, spraying (works on the larva), zapping, scrubbing, and bombing. I chose to put it off because I had an elderly dog and cat and also because I simply have not had the time I know it will take to do a thorough purge. After that, I will continue to put out one or two MaxGuard traps in strategic spots to monitor—just in case I buy something with a stowaway. Even though I now transfer all the products I know they like to infest into well-sealed canisters, I have occasionally found larva attached to cans. I’ve also learned that the larvae can chew their way into zippered plastic bags! Life in central Texas—one insect after another. I hope this helps some of you who have similar uninvited guests.

When I opened the first package it was like a scene out of a horror movie. I kid you not. I had no idea how many moths were lurking in my cabinets and would have doubted that the pheromone in the traps actually worked until that moment. I thought I must have "some" moths as I would see a few every day, but when I opened that first package moths came out of everywhere and were all around me and all over the counter where I was working. There must have been 20 that were suddenly all around me. And by the time I got done putting the 3rd trap in a cabinet - the first one already had a moth in it. So do these work? My lord, yes!

I bought these because I saw a couple flour moths flying around so I figured there are 987 more hiding. I stuck one in the cabinet where I keep the pasta and another one on the top shelf in the laundry room where we store our extra food. There is flour, rice and pasta in there. It's amazing how many moths are stuck to the trap in just a few days' time. Next comes the chore of going through everything. These little traps are amazing.

I had read several reviews on this product, both positive and negative and found more positive reviews so I took a chance on this product and I am glad I did. This product works well. I had several moths that I was battling with spray and a fly swatter and it was getting tiresome so I ordered this product and within the first 24 hours I had eliminated several of these moths and now after about 48 hours I have only seen just a few moths remaining so I would say it eliminated about 90% of the moths. I would buy this product again without hesitation. It states on the box that this will only work on pantry moths and no other type of moth, why this is I do not know so be sure of the moth type before you order this product.

Excellent product. No fuss ,no muss almost all moths were death within 2 weeks . The rest died as they hatched out a few wks to a month later. I left little sticky houses up for 2 months just to be safe. It's been months now, and not a single moth has appeared. I do recommend placing everything from rice, to cereal to snacks in individual zip lock bags so moths and new born larve will also be starved out. Without food the hidden larve die faster.

These work great. I set a new bag of birdseed in a basket next to my utility room door. I picked the bag up a few days later to open it before taking it outside, moths went everywhere 😮. I panicked and bought three types of traps, because I was not sure what type of moths I was dealing with.One was for clothes moths the other two traps were for pantry moths. I set several of all three around the room. The clothes caught none, the other brand of pantry trap did catch a couple. The Maxguard had to be changed out daily because it would be full of moths. After a few days of leaving the Maxguards out the traps are empty and I have no moths. And I will never bring any birdseed into my house again!!

Absolutely useless. We followed all instructions. It’s supposed to attract male moths. I guess we have only females! Not a single moth captured. I really would like my money back.

These work really well.

Excelente producto. Fácil de colocar y actúa de inmediato. A menos de una semana de uso, ya hay muchas menos polillas.

Las pedí porque a pesar de haber sacado TODO de mi alacena y haber limpiado absolutamente todo, vi que seguían saliendo polillas de la alacena. Pensé que solo atraparía unas cuantas pero no!!! Se reproducen RAPIDISIMO y estás trampas me están ayudando a acabar con ellas. Definitivo compraré más porque son una plaga. Las recomiendo al 100

Son muy buenas, cumplen los que prometen. Así se ven después de 1 mes, dice que son efectivas por tres meses. Las recomiendo para ir dándoles batalla en conjunto con fumigar.

Funciona a la perfección, es un imán de polillas, lo recomiendo ampliamente

Fácil de armar y de poner. Las polillas caen y se quedan atrapadas desde el primer momento
