It seems people either LOVE ***** the Safer trap--or HATE IT*. Maybe attractant expires? Other variables in trap usage? Variations in moth species?

The attractant in the trap lasts up to 12 weeks and will attract adult webbing and casemaking clothes moths. When using the trap only one should be used per room. If too many traps are used the moths become confused and may not go to the traps.

I hate the Safer trap. It sure didn't attract the moths I was hoping to catch; however, a couple of flies fell in this trap, but those culprits never did! I wouldn't recommend them.

I think it works very well for clothes moths. It attracts them before they can find a home in your clothes. Not sure it would do much good if you already have an infestation.

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.

I leave it out for few months. I put them in the garage top shelf and top of the fridge. The trap gets dusty sometimes but I use the product until it gets full. I think some are defects or the moths are getting smarter or immune to the scent. Company will ship you replacements. The war against the moths are at a stalemate. I need another tactic.

I have been using the mole trap in the photo for years. My guess is that it is being put into the ground incorrectly or it is contaminated somehow and should been cleaned throughly. I have used a varity of traps and this one works best.

I just use the mole traps. Not the gopher ones. We have moles and mophers or thats what the locals call them. They are cuter than moles. But more destructive. It takes two traps per hole so one trap won't work.

I already had moths and the ones I caught were the same type I had been seeing. I didn't see an increase in population with the traps.

these fly traps work better than others i have tried. Yes they smell but not as bad as some traps. I have used two at a time when flies are really bad, sometimes they will last 10 days, usually not that long because they fill up(catch too many flies) and need replaced. I used them early in season and haven't needed to use them again this year so far.

I am not sure what kind of moth I have either. So, I bought 5 different kind of moth traps. This one work. So, I buy more only this.

From my experience the smell is noticeable and I have caught mice on the traps, but I consider that a good thing though. I have caught a variety of insects and have caught a couple of cockroaches. I believe that if the trap is placed in a good location you will have success in getting cockroaches and really don't believe the smell will necessarily attract mice if they are not there anyway.

I wish they did, but my experience is the ones that don't "go away" to die remain and can have quite a stink. My experience, however, is that most seem to go "out" and never come back. I believe that all of these baits work about the same. Spread the bait packets and then watch for new signs of the critters. Good luck.

Hi! I use it in the early Spring when our home ants begin their annual visit. I look up on GOOGLE for "homemade ant bait recipes." This year, 2014, I used it only once! So effective. I keep it sealed up tight and store it indoors, top of my bedroom closet. Kept this way I think it is good indefinitely. I love this purchase.

The gnats love it! Not one flea tho.........really disappointing because I bought it to trap fleas. I think gnats are drawn to the light above the trap. I also notice tiny moths in the trap.....Hope this helps.

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.

Not sure how long they last because when there are no more moths, about a week or so. I just check each day to see if anybody else got caught, and I don't see any more in a few days its over. But I recommend every few weeks open one and put it in the pantry near flour or pasta. If they come back that's where they will start.

It wont even work for types of Moths that are NOT listed on the package.Because the Pheromone bait is specifically attractive to those listed.

Cathy, You are correct. The trap uses a mix of pheromones that can get quite "stinky". Outside you may notice it when you're within 5 feet or so of the trap. Inside the home? I'm sure you'd be able to notice the smell a lot further away and I can't imagine it would be acceptable.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

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