Are you guys sure that these things aren't ATTRACTING moths that weren't there to begin with, but rather were drawn to your traps? My gardener once told me to 'put those beetle traps in your neighbors yard but never in your own' cuz they draw bugs to...

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

I depends on where you put it & if any birds, bugs, etc., are attracted to whatever you are growing. Please contact your local gardening sore or agricultural extension & pose further questions to the professionals.

That is an interesting question..thinking back to last year we did notice some dead spiders on our patio days after spraying. Didn't notice an increase in flying bugs.

If I had to guess... This product would focus more on the specific bugs that vegetable gardens attract.EDIT: C. Aronson's answer sounds much better... Listen to that one.

I see various types of moths and flys that get zapped in mine because they are attracted to the light. I'm glad you asked because I found some interesting information that relates to attractants on http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/advice/keys-to-success/attractants-101

Haven't seen any in mine yet. I've seen everything else in there including millipedes, spiders, a few beetle-like bugs including Asian beetles, but so far haven't seen any earwigs in my house, though they are in my garage and outside. I'd almost bet they would attract the earwigs. I'm finding bugs in there that I didn't know were in my house, because of the carpet. These things are awesome, I love them.

I don't know about wax moths. The bait that comes with it is pheromone for the female pantry moth. If they are a small moth it would be worth a try, they are only a few dollars and if they work, great! If they don't, you're just out a few bucks. That's just my 2 cents. Hope you find a solution.

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, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Wow, they got in somehow & are thriving in the warmth of your home! This would be a lower cost option than the exterminator again but don't they guarantee their product? I'd keep making them come out. If you try this spray, you'll need to launder everything possible in hot water, spray in and under furniture (test wood & fabric first). Like I was told "think like a flea"! Good luck!!

We were told ants like to search for their food. In other words, if you put it directly in their path, they will avoid it. We put ours on the opposite corner of the house that our infestation was. It seemed to work. I guess we will have to wait for spring to see for sure.

These traps are very specifically attractive to ONLY the species listed on the package. You probably would NOT be attracted to the pheromones of other species either.That's not to say you might be attracted to other species for other reasons, but it's not for their pheromones. (LOL) Each trap comes with a little disk inside a sealed plastic envelope. The trap is useless without that pheromone infused disk. Unless you catch some moths and place them inside the traps, then they would attract others. I found that my traps residents multiply fast after a few successes.Use Google to find your type of moth and then come back to Amazon to find the product specifically for your brand of pest.Good luck!!

I never had a problem with pincher bugs so I really cant say - sorry..... My trouble was with moths laying larvae on the leaves... My guess would be that the garlic may actually attract them since they are attracted to the smell of food..... Good luck!!

Absolutely! The smaller the insect, the more likely it is to get trapped. They kind of just get sucked in my the fan. Larger insects are attracted to the light. I plugged mine in for the first time this year, and I had to empty it within the first 48 hours, which is really fast. It was completely full - Bugs on the inside and beatles in the water along the outside. BEST TRAP I'VE EVER HAD!

I'm no bug expert, but since I think fleas tend to jump rather than crawl, they may not often jump into the assembled traps, but I'm sure you'd still catch some. If you don't have to worry about kids or pets getting into them, you could leave the traps open to increase your chances. But if you don't have pets, you probably wouldn't have fleas, so...

I have only caught mice with the trap. And I can tell you it has been quite successful at that task. I haven't placed it near my garden so I cannot be sure it would not catch voles or moles. However, Victor never mentions catching voles or moles in any of their descriptions of their product. So I think you should probably invest your money else ware in dealing with your particular infestation.

nope. I have one set up in the kitchen and bedroom and I have found spiders in both locations. I've also had the device up for quite some time now so it's not as if the spiders needed extra time or anything to relocate ;)

Hi, Joan, No they will not help with the worms. The trap consists of sticky coated surfaces and a pheromone lure that attracts the adult moths only. The moths fly into the trap after the lure and get trapped on the sticky surface. Unless you throw out the foodstuff that's infested with the larvae (worms), they will eventually develop into moths which will get caught in the trap. It's best to track down the infested food and throw it away and use the traps for residual moths. Good luck!
