I am not sure what kind of moth I have either. So, I bought 5 different kind of moth traps. This one work. So, I buy more only this.

I wish I could be more encouraging but I'm not sure that the unit did anything. The best answer is to get some large traps and bait them with peanut butter and mix in a few peanuts.

If you live in an apartment you should have to use to many. I would only put 2 in the kitchen and under the sink. The pest control man said you don't need to use to many only a few where you see the roaches, especially in kitchen.

Yes! I was quite surprised! I had Orkin coming for 4 months and no changes with my little critters, was still seeing them every day. Then I set these things out and after 4 days, I saw no critters again. I have not changed the traps for 5 months, but intend to do so at month 6, just to be safe. So I have been critter free for 5 months and 12 days, so far!UPDATE: I was going to change at 6 months, didn't... thought I would wait and see if I needed to. Well, I am at 9 months now and still no more bugs... I think I will be safe and change them out at 10 months. Already have my order in hand and ready to replace them. Yes! I was quite surprised!

You must have super rodents or speedy gonzalez then because I've never had that problem. You can test the trap yourself by using a stick/pencil etc. I had problem with bugs eating the peanut butter I put in mine, a roach won't set it off of course.

No, I just set it down in strategic places. Did you just scatter them around? Place them on every corner in your kitchen && restroom. Roaches need food and water (like every living thing) so those are the 2 most important places.I put some like every cabinet too. Almost wasted the whole bag and I combined these traps with Roach Tablets, you can also buy them on Amazon.

The lady bugs stayed around for most of the growing season. I sprayed the food where I needed the lady bugs to 'graze' only if they seemed to be wandering into areas that I didn't need them, like would see several on the shrubbery. It sees like I sprayed the food about once every week. I guess you would have to sort of feel your way as to you needs.

It starts slowly, but once a few get in the jar it picks up some. I think I caught about a dozen last year and only a couple so far this year. Carpenter bee powder on their real holes might redirect more to the trap, but "a few" is more like it.

I do not know why the lures I received did not attract moths. They have work very well for me in the past and I ordered four of them. Would appreciatereply from SAFER

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.

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com

Most likely to much bait. I was doing that at first. I took a butter knife and just got a dab on the tip of the knife and put it on the rim of the bait hole. Make them have to go all the way to the hole. They have strong smell. They will go for it. Hope it works!

I don't know where the pantry moths go but they do have a season when they keep coming back. Just keep a stock of these traps they truly work. The lure that is put inside starts to work right away. I keep a trap in my cupboard all the time. I don't want to take the chance they will come back. If you see one then there are many others. The lure lasts a bit longer because its in a closet. I also keep one in my bird room. They get full, toss out and get another. Better to keep at least one trap in place then find out they got in to all that pasta you bought on sale. Soon The dollar value of food saved supercede the cost of the traps ( which isn't that much ). I am so sold on these traps as you can tell.

I think they sent them in 4 days and the beetles came hungry. You can keep then in your fridge where they settle. Mist the beetles and after the water evaporates off the container, place them back I to the fridge. They should be fine for a few days. Mine were still alive 4 days later. If you want them to hang around, spray your plants with sugar water and release them onto the plants at night time. They don't fly when the sun sets. Hope that helped!

I doubt it. The package says it's for "Flour and Grain Moths". It has a phermone piece that you unwrap and stick on it that releases chemicals that smell like female moths to attract the males. Then they get stuck on the sticky pad. The beetles might happen to crawl on the sticky pad and get caught, but they wouldn't be attracted to it. I would keep looking for something specific to them, if there is such a product.

Dear Bear, Thank you for writing. Our Japanese Beetle Catch Can with Bait (#05-268) contains a lure that's specific to Japanese beetles. These pests have shiny, metallic-green bodies and copper-colored wing covers. Unless you have this kind of beetle, the Catch Can will probably not work. We appreciate your interest, nonetheless! Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. Sincerely, Darcy Customer Service

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, I did get a total of 12 cobs in 6 packs of 2 each. I like it this way as they stay fresh. I am still using the cobs from my original order and they are still fresh. In the stores around me, the cobs were not fresh, some having bugs crawling all around and through the cobs. I will reorder from here when I run low.
