How effective is this item for killing pantry moths?

I have never killed moths with it, but I imagine it would work well. I used it for flies mostly. The first hit of a fly really stuns it. You can get it another 2 times and the fly is completely vaporized into a puff of smoke. Nothing to clean up!

I have never killed a single bug with this swatter. Really wanted it to work but there are better ones out there that actually kill bugs.

I'm afraid I don't know. I bought this specific for the pantry moth which invaded our home via bird seed. I took some time to research on Google to discover which moth was the culprit. Good Luck!

That's where I've been using one of mine. I have a dry basement, so I guess it depends. So far, no problems, in fact it solves a lot of problems for storing woolens over the summer. There's a piece of cedar that repels moths.

BTW, a little goes a long way. Just one quick burst should do it. Of course, I am only referring to yellow jackets. Not sure of it's affect on other pests.

Unfortunately, the cedar repels adult moths. Larvae are the sweater eaters, and they require further measures. I still recommend the cedar hangers, but they aren't the whole amswer where there is infestation. we may both need a specialist.

The lid fits tight but not sure if it will keep out the moths. I have trail mix in mine at our office so moths are not a problem. But I do have aprroblem with moths at home.

I used this product indoors to kill cockroaches in kitchen area, which worked great! haven't seen one since I started regular spraying. Hope you find your answer soon

I personally wouldn't know, (because I didn't see the eggs/larvae themselves) but if not on contact, it probably kills them within seconds or minutes at the most, probably. Either way, this product works!! I'm not a paid reviewer or someone affiliated with the company that makes this in any way, shape or form, but I stand by my reviews and opinions on this. If you're still wondering whether or not to get this product, I'd say go for it: It gets it done!!

I had one a couple of years ago and wore it out catching moths and spiders in the house. I believe it would not work on stink bugs because their shell is so hard. This device sucks them into an electrified-type catcher, and then electrocutes them. Sure would smell bad. I ordered one again and it did not work at all and had to be returned. Got my money back though.

Yes it will work perfectly to kill all the ants, roaches, etc. Indeed it kills all insects. This is a very powerful product. Since I introduced it in my home, no more roaches nor insects. Sprinkle around corners and little holes in your house especially in the kitchen area, cabinets, under the stove, fridge, etc

The powder that is in the trap may kill them. I noticed they have killed moths and other flying insects.

It works on crickets, roaches, ants, just about every insect pest. AND you do not have to touch the creature carcasses to dispose of them. These are great devices, simple, cheap & effective.

I don't know that these actually totally get rid of the moths. I believe they only catch the male moths which has left us with continual moths for years now. We don't seem to have them in the winter but in the spring they come back out. I would say the traps helped control the population and the traps will let you know how bad the problem is. In one room, I have a trap completely full and in another room only a couple in a period of a couple weeks so that lets me know where to put cedar and steam clean thoroughly. I can't seem to get rid of every one though. Just when I think they are gone, I see one. I don't know that these actually totally get rid of the moths.

You generally expect this cedar oil tot repel or prevent moths from entering your clothing. It does not work as an insecticide would. If you want to kill moths, you should use a moth ball and then use the cedar oil to keep the moths away. This is a really good quality cedar oil.

I really don't know, I haven't had them long enough yet unfortunately. I never really had a big moth problem, I was trying to prevent any moths from getting at the clothing, so I don't know that I'm going to be a good resource for giving an assessment on this. I think pretty much anything would lose effectiveness after about a year, though maybe not actual traditional white moth balls - but those are full of strong-smelling chemicals.
