How long before the pests start climbing into the container. Right now they are sitting around the edge of the opening.

I'm not sure.............. I set it up, placed it and the next day there were 6-10 of 'em inside. Right now, after 3 weeks, there aredozens inside. I purchased 3 more 'cause they work quite well.

Find the source of the fruit flies and throw it out. I used the trap and 3 days later no more flies. We had a bag of potatoes under the sink that was the source. The trap worked!

That is what happened with mine at first. But I believe it was within the first to second day that they actually went inside of the container. It killed about 12 gnats/fruit flies but more importantly they stopped breeding. I still have one that I haven't had to use because there's no issue with them anymore.

For me, they still haven't climbed into the container. Seems like the whole thing was a waste of money.

When they fall into the jar it is difficult for the bees to get back up into the box and then the holes there are at an angle so the bees can't maneuver to get back out. That's the best I can do. I can only tell you that our jar is filling up. It took a long time for the bees to start entering the trap but once they did they didn't stop.

I had ants marching from behind a kitchen cabinet. They were heading in two different directions. I located where they were coming out from behind the cabinet. I ran a bead of Terro so they could not come out without walking thru it. The ants walked thru it, and about 2 hours later they were all over the wall. The next day they were all gone. Have not seen another one in over 43 months.

It's not an instant fix...give it some time to work its magic. Your gnat population should be diminished significantly, and the remaining few should die out pretty soon. I continued to see a stray gnat for a while, and I didn't even notice when that stopped because there were so few at that point. You followed the instructions to put the powder a third of the way in the pot, right? In addition to that, I also sprinkled some around the surface dirt and watered it in. That might help you, too.

I get spiders in the box. Maybe I don't shut it tightly enough or there might be small cracks where the lid doesn't meet the box well. No way cats or rodents will move the lid. It is a solid piece of heavy plastic.

you vacuumed it up. It isn't like pesticide where you spray and they die. I would suggest leaving it for 3 days and then I'd vacuum it.

Not too sure about the question. They are ready to use after opening the big factory zip lock bag. You will be able to see when they are empty thru the top and then just replace them. Best roach control product I have ever bought!

You just pop the lid up. I take them far from the house, at least 100 ft. and then open the lid. They usually hop out but sometimes I have to "persuade" them with a shake.

Well, nature has you. Maggots are normal. The bin is too wet. Be sure the door is shut tight, don't wet the bin any further and be sure it's in a sunny location. Assume you know that no meat products are to be put into the bin? If you put anything animal in it you also draw lots of flies. I'd open the bin and smash the maggots up if it freaks you out, turn it over a few times and cover the bin so the refuse doesn't get any wetter before it breaks down. Also, dump the bottom holder. It's likely full of water that draws all kinds of bugs.

I waited until the following morning. I kept them in the refrigerator over night. Then took them out around 6 am and let them get to room temp. Then I released them around 7 am. First, I sprayed my plant to get it damp and spread the lady bugs out over the plant.

I used about a palm full of food inside of the cage, opposite end of the trap door. You dont want to put the food directly on the other end otherwise they will pull the food out. You need to give them a reason to go inside to grab the food. I did not have to cover the cage and I was able to move a family of 5 from my area. Haven't had any issues since.

I have a very good experience with these and have never seen bugs in any of my dry goods. It is possible if dry good sit too long and there's moisture that things can get in when you open it and close it that then plant larva that grow. People have to remember that they go in and out of the container then I was can get in and out as well when they open the container

I did, food tends to fall there sometimes and I'm sure they crawl by there so I put one. This thing works miracles though I haven't seen any roaches for months and I would see a few a day before I got this stuff.

I believe that this container, if used in conjunction with its companion lid, would most likely do the trick of keeping out any pests. The lid seals pretty tightly to the container. To be totally forthcoming, though, I have not had any experience with keeping out critters, so I can't attest completely to the air tightness of the container in this specific situation.

Wait them out. Ours took a few extra weeks to hatch. But then we had a tun of them. They like to take longer then the instructions lol

If you are there when they arrive, they live inside the cup until you move them to the caterpillar house. They may be a little sluggish due to the heat at first but overnight ours perked up and really started moving.

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!
