Do these repel indian meal moths?

Actually I don't know whether they repel any moths or not, but they smell good. I happened to have had to have the house "fogged" against mites, and I have not had a recent problem with moths, but I don't know whether the sachets of herbal repellent were effective or not.

Hi, Joan, No they will not help with the worms. The trap consists of sticky coated surfaces and a pheromone lure that attracts the adult moths only. The moths fly into the trap after the lure and get trapped on the sticky surface. Unless you throw out the foodstuff that's infested with the larvae (worms), they will eventually develop into moths which will get caught in the trap. It's best to track down the infested food and throw it away and use the traps for residual moths. Good luck!

Yes they do. I try not to leave them out except when I'm there hunting. I always spray them with WD 40 when I put them away. I use them mainly to keep the coons away from my deer feeders. We are overrun with coons and they can empty a feeder quick.

I have no moths left in my pantry, but it took a month or two (and I was busy swatting them as well) of having the traps out. I swear by them, and by freezing almost everything before it goes on the shelf from now on.

I did not intend to use these for long-term storage because they are herbals. I do use herbs in my kitchen and pantry cupboards to keep bugs out, but those need to be replaced about every six months.As far as other critters go, well, if you mean mice or rats, I would doubt they would be effective. Seems those little beasties are almost like goats in their dietary choices.

Preferably live bugs. Most of the time they catch enough on their own. I have a baggie over one of my plants to provide greenhouse humidity, and it still seems to catch tiny moths and gnats. Always use only distilled or R/O water and the flytrap growing media. Every time I have tried to vary from this, I have started the slow demise of my plant.

Yes, they do. They completely encase the pillow, preventing ANYTHING from getting in. I have purchased the box spring, mattress and pillowcase protectors, and have yet to see an insect. However, Orkin did treat the zippers on the box spring and mattress protectors, as an added measure.

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.

It is bedbug proof, so I would say yes, it should protect against moths & their larva.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is hard to say exactly how long they are effective but my guess is over a month. This is how they work; a small amount of attractant is placed on sticky tape at the bottom of the trap. When that piece is covered in moths, I change the trap. There is no discernible smell to the attractant.

Without going upstairs to measure, I would say the paper "pouches" are about 2 inches square--like a good sized tea bag. I don't know whether they are effective against moths, but they smell nice. I have not renewed them since I put them among my sweaters a couple of months ago. I found a little moth damage on one sweater but am not sure whether it might be from before I put in the pouches or perhaps after they were too old.

No what they keep away are mosquitoes but they don't kill bees or butterflies. The seeds I scattered around two years ago have produced blossoms all over the place. It makes my lawn look more natural. They are a very hardy plant.

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.
