Has anyone ever used these traps for clothing moths?

Yes. It catches those moths, but it does not kill all of them. I still find random moths here and there. You have to kill the eggs.

I only used them in my kitchen. I am pretty sure that regulars moths are different then these pantry moths.Moth Balls were used in closets, etc for clothes.

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.

We bought ours to catch miller moths, and they (we bought a second one after the first one worked so well) do a fabulous job with moths. I don't know about smaller insects, though. Sorry.

I'm answering a second time, revising my first answer. My son had a mole problem and states that these traps do not work on moles. A different approach was necessary.

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.

I beleive so. My closets don't have doors at all and it worked on the clothes moths. I spray it in and around the closet and clothes. Doesn't harm the clothes.You do have to spray every couple of months and use traps. The moths are the most difficult pest to eradicate.

It keep away moths, I have cedar rings spaced on hangers--I take them off about every four months and spray them again then put them back on hangers and back in the closet ---- have never had a moth hole and I have knit St Johns clothes

Not very effectively. A few that randomly alight upon them will be trapped. If you could dose the traps with CO2 and lactic acid, they would be attracted, but that is impractical.

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.

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!!!

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.

I have not been successful with any brand of moth trap other than Safer Brand's The Pantry Pest Trap. The off brands have trapped less than a dozen moths during the life of the traps. Pantry Pest Trap gets dozens of moths during the life of the traps. The Pantry Pest Trap does not cost any more than the off brands.

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.

The Safer traps are advertised for clothes moths which include wool moths. I purchased the Safer traps & the Pro-Pest traps. I put both traps in the same room to catch wool moths. The Pro-Pest were the only traps to catch wool moths.

I didn't use loose moth balls, but successfully used the kind that comes in a small self-contained package (some in cardboard, some in plastic "frames"), and didn't have any problems.

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.

Don't know but this product did not trap a single adult moth. Product is worthless. Other brands perform in a far superior manner. "CatchMaster" strips are far superior.
