What is the difference between the (green-lettered) Pro-Pest pantry moth traps and your more affordable Pro-Pest traps with blue lettering?

Heh.I've never paid the price for the more expensive ones. I'm guessing they're a bit more convenient - better protection from getting fingers into the sticky stuff, etc.I've bought the blue-lettered ones a couple of times and am VERY happy with them. I keep one in the pantry at ALL times, and we've not had an outbreak since I started.

I don't know, but the blue lettered ones have worked well enough for me that I am going to order another batch

I think they are the same--just different packaging. I think the blue is the latest, since only the ones I order last year were green--all the rest have been blue, no matter the photo used! Blue works the same as far as I can tell.

I purchased two orders of Pro-Pest traps: one pictured with blue-lettered traps and the other with green-lettered traps. When they arrived they both turned out to be blue despite the picture. So there is no difference between them because the green-lettered traps seem to not exist. And generally, I am disappointed in the product. I have had the traps for a week and each trap has only caught 1 moth. The Aeroxon brand catches 1-5 every day.

Well, DUH! Of course they attract the moths ..in YOUR CLOSET/PANTRY ! That's what they are supposed to do. Your gardener is right, but thats OUTSIDE (why would you put a pantry moth trap outside?). These traps are supposed to be placed in inside places where moths are a problem. We unknowingly were bringing home these moth "eggs" on canned goods from a small specialty store, and they would hatch/procreate in our pantry. We noticed the moth infestation at the back of the store one day, and a light bulb glowed! These traps wiped them out in about 4 weeks - they coated the inside of the traps. We, of course, do not shop at that store anymore Well, DUH! Of course they attract the moths ..in YOUR CLOSET/PANTRY ! That's what they are supposed to do.

I would guess that they're comparable. This one is $5 less expensive though. I can tell you I use my prochef multiple times a day and am very happy with the quality for the price. I've had $30 scales in the past that have gone glitchy quickly with my excessive use.

As far as I can tell, the differences are: The color of the housing, the packaging and the stopper (the pro has a chrome stopper)

The Safer trap seems to have worked. I caught several moths using the trap. but. I finally found the source of most of the moths, the headquarters so to speak. They were in an expensive handmade oriental rug in my dining room. I did not vacuum under the legs of a sofa, and they were nesting in the spots under the furniture where I didnot vacuum. In the future , I will move the furniture in order to vacuum. I had to moth proof the rug after it was professionally cleaned. I also bought a special spray that is supposed to kill the moths . The spray is made from chrysanthemum leaves. It is supposed to be non toxic to pets and people. We shall see. The Safer trap seems to have worked. I caught several moths using the trap. but.

I want to add to what I said,. I didn't realize at the time that I was actually using the green bagged litter which I understand iS the same as the blue bag but has herbs in it also,. I got the blue bag today and I think jot will be even better,.

Regular one is a bit smaller. FYI...don't waste your money on any other bug zappers. I have tried many of them and this is the best.

I just purchased some Great Stuff Pro series "PESTBLOCK" foam. The stuff is a green color. The can says that it will block mice. Probably has something in it that mice don't find palatable.

I have dealt with persistent pantry moths that find their pesky little selves into every single crevice that can be found. I find that they tend to like nesting in the rims and ridges of jars. While these are NOT airtight I do use them for some frequently used items and will use additional saran wrap for protection. What I do like about this is that it is clear and you will probably be able to see the pantry moths nesting in the rims if it comes to that. For other items (and items that are not used often) I would definitely go with BALL or KERR mason jars.

The short answer: Yes it is the same stuff in each package.The long answer: Let me start by saying that this product is an excellent way to treat plants for insects. I have to keep by bonsai's inside in the winter and could not keep them pest free without it. As to your question, I have purchased both of these products and each works equally well. I purchased the small one to give it a try and then the big one to buy more economically by the pound.

These pantry moth traps MIGHT work against clothes moths. However, there are similar traps made for clothes moths, which are likely a better choice.

Sorry,can't help you there.I never used the trap (wrong insect). I would think that the seller could answer this question.

Since moth balls have been neutralized by the greens by taking out the ingredient that is effective against insects and vermin the only other protection comes with camphor. There is one more effective way to deal with bed bugs and such and that is diatomaceous earth.

No, I've been fighting moths for some time. These traps attract moths, but the moths were already in the house.

The only difference I know is color. The blue one I have has the indented handle on the bottom of the can.

To be quite honest, I believe they're the exact same thing. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. Whichever is the cheaper is the one I would get at the time since the shelf life was the same. Let me know if you have any further questions. D. Smith
