I am afraid these traps will lure in moths from the outside as well, if the lure pheromone is that strong????

That wouldn't be a concern for me... Although I am catching more now, the traps don't catch all the ones inside my house, lol. I don't think whatever seeps out the windows can compete with the pheromones out in the great outdoors.

Goodness no. The lure is not very strong. That's why you have to place several boxes strategically around the house so that you can catch them from the first to the last. Hope this helps.

Seems very unlikely to me since you need several per good-sized room to accomplish the job. I do think it has worked and alos was able to catch clothes moths . IF your windows have screens I think you will be ok.

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.

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 don't think it would be a good idea to use these outside, they'd get covered with bugs, and god knows what else. Why would anyone want to catch mice outside?

I think the reason they say to drop the lure through the hole is so it sticks to the middle of the sticky stuff. They don't want you to put the lure on the edges of the sticky area. You need to draw the moths to the center to make sure they get stuck there. The instructions also say to hang it at eye level for best results. If you're 5 ft. tall or 7'6" that would be quite a different height. :)

These didn't work for me either. The only answer I found forFast little wool moths was bug bombing the house, closed upFor several houers. I wish I had a more benign answer.

No, the attraction smell is very specific to pantry moths. I have had two infestations, used multiple traps in multiple locations and have never caught any other type of moth or insect.

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

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 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.

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

I'm using a few of these on the outside of my house in insect-rich Florida, and while I haven't systematically sampled the different light fixtures around the house, and with the caveat that some sides of the house may be naturally more prone to bugs than the other sides... I *think* that may be right. At least so far this year I haven't noticed the masses of insects around the lights that I sometimes see. That said, if LEDs attract fewer bugs, that may be a double-edged sword. If they're not coming to your outdoor floodlights, they'll still be coming to your windows (unless your whole house is LED inside too!). I've had mine in use regularly for several months now and really do like them so far. Feit seems to make a great LED.

These traps work for the moths in my sunflower seeds (for wild birds), dog bone treats, flour, etc. I store corn for feeding deer but get no moths in it.

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.

Although I have not caught one myself, I have caught everything from spiders to crickets in these things so I am pretty sure that they would catch silverfish. I do not believe the silverfish would actually be drawn to the traps, I think they would just have to happen into them.
