Has anyone ever used these moth catchers for clothing moths?

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, it does. But only one sex. So, it should keep them from reproducing in your house. Some moths will be flying around ignoring them, but unable to reproduce, UNLESS moths come in from outside. So you need to replace them every 3 months.

I've been using them in bedrooms for over a year with no noticeable negative effects. I have to be much more careful with the birds than humans (because of their lungs and sensitivities, not priorities). The label warns against using them with birds but after extensive discussion with bird people I trust, I tried them. Also no negative effects with the birds. Not having moths for the first time in years is heaven!

They are quite sharp, so I think they would work for thinner fabrics. I know they could cut through a standard thickness wool felt, but fleece might be too thick. They are definitely not as sharp as sewing scissors.

Yes it will kill moths! And it does it completely. If you want to save moths, try setting a trap with a light and sort the moths out and the n kill the rest.

No, I would not do that. It is meant to be used to catch bugs, moths - it kills them when they stick to it.

YES!! I tried every product you can imagine. NOTHING WORKED! However, I finally invested in a deep freezer and I PUT ALL MY CLOTHES IN THE FREEZER 15-20 PIECES OF CLOTHING AT A TIME FOR 24 HRS. I KEEP ADDING CLOTHES UNTIL THEY HAVE ALL BEEN IN THE FREEZER FOR 24 HRS. THIS SEEMED TO HAVE WORKED. If there is a moth hiding in the dark, which they do, you'll see them laying eggs or larvae on your clothes. I CONSISTENTLY PUT MY CLOTHES IN THE FREEZER AND THEY ARE SUBSIDING LITTLE BY LITTLE. IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HAS WORKED FOR ME. THIS "SAFER CLOTHES MOTH" DOES NOT WORK...I NEVER CAUGHT A THING WITH IT!!!

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!

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've used both Herbal Moth Away sachets and cedar chip bags. They both need yearly replacement but I like how easy the sachets work into clothes and linens.

I had one a couple of years ago and wore it out catching moths and spiders in the house. I believe it would not work on stink bugs because their shell is so hard. This device sucks them into an electrified-type catcher, and then electrocutes them. Sure would smell bad. I ordered one again and it did not work at all and had to be returned. Got my money back though.

Have not used them on denim, but have used them on some heavy fabrics and they work amazing. Hope this helps.

I wish I could answer that for you. That moth appears that larger than the tiny moths I was trying to kill. I apologize that I don't know their name but I would not recommend buying large quantities until you know for sure. For me, this product didn't do any good. It didn't even kill aphids. I found out recently that my Lysol All purpose cleaner can drop a house fly right of the air. I would try it, if these moths aren't on plants that you appreciate :) Sorry I couldn't answer you question.

Moths I would doubt-----birds,etc. yes. The netting has 1" "holes", more or less. Pretty good "stuff".

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

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.

Hello, Since the clothing is totally enclosed in the high capacity nylon, poly coated bags, they will protect you clothing as well as anything. Here is a quote from the University of Kentucky agricultural department: Neither the clothes moth nor carpet beetle larva can digest cellulosic fibers (such as cotton, linen, or rayon) or synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic) so they generally leave these alone. I hope this answers your question. Regards, John Harrington, Garment Racks Etc
