Has anyone safely gotten rid of the eggs? Exterminator site says washing clothes does not kill 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!!!

Try placing clothes into plastic bag and then into freezer for a while. Follow by placing bag into direct sun shine to let it heat up. The extremes seem to have a very negative effects on eggs. Or try reversing the procedure.

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.

I used the following methods and no longer have moths: (1) put out one Safer trap (2) put out one Propest trap (3) freezed for at least one week, dry cleaned or washed in hot water all my clothes (4) i now store all my sweaters in sealed sweater bags, my wool coats, dresses, skirts in hanging bags and all other clothes in breathable plastic zip boxes - all from Container Store (5) purchased 1 pound lavendar and put them in about 24 satchels and put them inside the boxes and bags with clothes. I once had an infestation and now I don't.

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.

Cheryl, Plain old soap and water will do the trick. And I'd use a paper towel when doing the washing. As for detergent; nothing fancy is needed. The active in this bait is so mild and vulnerable any detergent will kill it and when mixed with water? The net result will dilute the bait to a harmless derivative that can safely be thrown away in the trash. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I'm not sure if it kills eggs but I did spray mattress and boxspring(with no sheets or pillows on it). Think going to try another product though

As I remember about a day. I really like mine. I don't have any flying or crawling insect. I think I it was a few hours before I saw a beetle-looking insect crawl out of my closet. I put one in there because I didn't want moths eating my wool sweaters I think it deters rodents too. Missie

After reading reviews and talking with people who used Xzlion, I decided not to go with it. But experience tells me that the longer the bugs sit on the vehicle, the harder it is to remove them. Try getting the corpses wet, then use a soft brush, some soap and water. That should help remove them. Then wash the car on a regular basis and after hitting a lot of bugs while traveling

I wipe mine inside and out with one of those bleach wipes every 4-5 kills. Obviously turn the unit off first. Much better than snap traps, glue pads and the so called humane traps. This is the only thing that worked for me.

I would recommend 3 separate traps if they are far apart protecting their eggs. A good tennis racket style electronic bug zapper works wonders too. Although you have to swat them, then step on them.

I think it's just the walls. I'm away from home now or I could look for you, since I set it up before I left so I could throw everything in the moment I get home. I really like this thing - I know it gets up to the temp to kill them because I tested it with my own thermometer. Even though it is supposed to take only a few minutes at the temp they said kills the bugs and eggs, I left mine in for hours to be sure. None of my stuff was harmed, and I have no bedbugs, so I'm assuming it worked!

Bifenthrin is the only thing I have found that kills stinkbugs. It has saved my sanity! Spray outside around windows, doorways, and any place else they might sneak in. Soon you will find them laying around dead (both inside and out), and remember, if they die while trying to get into your house in the fall, there won't be as many trying to get out in the spring! :D After using it for the past 3 years, I only have a fraction of the problem I used to have.

We have had one for about a year. I'm not convinced it has been very effective at all. Had great expectations but ended up having to hire a professional exterminator.

I use mine dry, just sprinkle around the entire top of the soil and water in. This is the only thing that I have found that gets rid of the pesky gnats. I tried all the natural options, repotting and other chemical options and they didn't work. I have heard that the gnats lay their eggs on the roots of the plant. I am not sure how often to use. The bugs are usually gone after one application. If you still see some bugs in a couple of weeks, I would reapply.

I disagree on this. If you have a home like mine that was designed for the NW but is in the midsouth-there is no possible way to control them coming in purely from a design factor. If you read anything about eliminating them indoors all the articles will tell you an exterminator does no good. People, they can come in through a door! It seems to me that you hang this up in the room where there is the most issue and clean it 2-3 times/week. Mine infestation is ALL indoors. I will leave feedback once I have used it but sounds like a winner inside or out.

Yes, and add some moth-repellant sachets, just to be sure...and switch over to cotton sweaters, storing woolens in space bags with no air over spring/summer. Moth eggs often laid by mid-spring, so this 2-step seems to work. Hope this helps.

I live in Michigan and what I did was take a 2foot by 1 foot piece of wood and then I put a couple screws into the wood. I then took some thread and tied each egg sac to a screw. I leaned the piece of wood against a wall near my garden. This protected the egg sacs from rain and the direct sun and kept them out of sight of most predators. It has been about a month or more since I did this and I am happy to report that I have several half inch long mantis babies in my garden. I don't believe the heat would harm them as long as you keep the egg sac in a shaded are that is also near a garden or a water source. Just my opinion. i'm no bug expert.

I wish they did, but my experience is the ones that don't "go away" to die remain and can have quite a stink. My experience, however, is that most seem to go "out" and never come back. I believe that all of these baits work about the same. Spread the bait packets and then watch for new signs of the critters. Good luck.

I think so - I plan on throwing the whole mess in a plastic shopping bag, tying it in a double knot and then disposing of it and good riddance. The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I haven't seen an appreciable decrease in flies around here...call it the end of a disgusting experiment. Onward.
