Do these keep out pantry moths?

I believe that this container, if used in conjunction with its companion lid, would most likely do the trick of keeping out any pests. The lid seals pretty tightly to the container. To be totally forthcoming, though, I have not had any experience with keeping out critters, so I can't attest completely to the air tightness of the container in this specific situation.

I don't know. I use it to brine chicken or meats. I don't store anything in them.

I cannot tell you for sure. We don't have them in FL but I do know that they keep out little tiny ants!

Hi Hanna, I think the moths are getting around the AC and not through it. I installed in sash window and used the foam strip in the gap between the windows. Examine carefully for any space or gap that the moth can go through. Use tape to cover gaps. Good luck.

Yes, these traps are for CASEMAKING clothes moths. I wish the packaging would say that.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I keep mine in an airtight container in my pantry and so far have not had any problems. I use them so they aren't in the pantry for more than a few months.

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.

I think it does. Ever since I've layered my cashmere sweaters with Moth Away, I haven't had any small moth eaten holes. It worked for me.

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.

I live in a guest house so its not large. I sat one on top of the entertainment center in the living room just to see if they really work before opening the second one. If you read my initial review...it worked great! I never put one in the kitchen at all and haven't seen any of the moths for weeks! I think it's time to put the second one out simply because this one is totally full of the little buggers! These are wonderful!

These will not work on closet moths (or any other kind of bugs besides pantry moths) the bait included is a hormone that is unique to pantry moths (attracts them so they think they are going to mate) There are similar traps for closet moths for sale here on Amazon (I have used them both) and they work well.

Yes, I haven't had any problems with the bags.I used to have moths in my house an it kept the moths out.

I didn't have odors in my closet so I couldn't say. But the sent isn't strong enough to smell unless you use a lot of them. Also depends on size of closet. But I have used them for years and they do protect wool from moths and other bugs that like wool!

They will likely contain some of the moth dust but probably not most of it. The mesh is significantly finer than a window screen but still porous enough to see through. Hope that helps!

Yes, there is a hole on top. It would be tough, but not impossible for moths to get in.

Yes, it is designed to keep bugs, like moths, out. It is even cedar-lined. There are no holes after zippered up. There are three (3) zippers - 1 vertical & 2 horizontal that meet at the very top. Because they are three individual zippers, they do not meet for a complete seal. However, there is a cloth flap that covers the top opening so it protects/covers up that slight opening.

Anisa, I have never had a problem with MOTH, but I can tell you these bags close very tightly. I am very happy with them. Evelyn

I have one in a book case and it catches moths. These are not as effective as another brand I've used but they are pretty good.

These traps are for pantry moths. They will work, however, to be rid of them, you need to consider where they come from, which is usually grain related. You won't regret getting these traps, but it would take more than these alone to be completely rid of them. You'll want to make sure items like pasta, cereal, flour, oats, etc are stored wisely. The traps work by using pheromones to attract the moth and glue to capture it. I recommend to try them, but realize that the traps alone cannot "solve" the problem.
