I bought these Springstar moth traps a few months ago. I put out both traps. Neither one caught even a single moth in months. NOT ONE MOTH!!!!!

So I bought some Safer brand ones at home depot and put them out. Both those traps got so full with moths that there was no more room for another moth to get caught because they were covered with moths (like 50 or 100 per trap). So I took the red pheromone lure out of one of the used Safer traps and put them in the Springstar traps yesterday and today, there are already 3 moths stuck on the glue today.

If I could have given the Springstar traps zero stars I would have.

Don't waste your money on the Springstar traps because they are pieces of junk that don't work. Their pheromone lures do not work at all. I want my money back. Springstar will cheat you.

By the way, I should add that it was the Safer brand pantry pest moth traps not the clothes moth traps that I have been using. So I know the pantry pest traps work for catching moths. I can't say whether the Safer brand clothes moth traps work or not because I haven't tried those, yet. But the Pantry pest traps work FANTASTIC for catching moths.

P.S. I want to add that it is now a week later. The Springstar trap that I put the Safer brand lure in now has four moths in it. In the meantime, I went to Home Depot and bought four more of the Safer brand traps and put them out. The new Safer brand traps that I bought already have 20 moths at least in each of them. (Yes, we have a moth problem in our house! I don't know why! I think it is because our house is hot and humid in the summer because we don't have AC? In the winter, no moths. In the summer, hundreds apparently from how many our Safer traps are catching.)

I figured out another reason that the Springstar traps don't catch moths--their glue is also bad! I happened to pick up the Springstar trap that I stuck the Safer lure in when there was a moth in it. It was walking on the glue and flew away! So their lures don't work AND their glue doesn't work! What crappy traps. The glue they are using looks like rat paper glue. It is thicker and yellowish than the glue in the Safer trap. The glue in the Safer trap is thin and clear. Springstar must be basically just using their rat paper glue in their moth traps. It seems like they really don't know what they are doing.

I should open up the Springstar trap and lay it in the garage and see if I can catch any mice with it since it won't catch moths.

Several months later....I left the Springstar traps out. They just don't work at all. Terrible product. I found a new product that I really like called Revenge. These are really sticky and catch tons of moths. The paper/glue in the Revenge traps is even better than in the Safer brand traps. But I took the lures out of my full Safer traps and stuck them in the Revenge traps. So I don't know if the Revenge lures work or not. But I know that when the Revenge traps have one Revenge lure and a couple of Safer brand lures in them, then they catch tons and tons of moths.

I work in a museum and when we had a clothes moth problem this trap helped capture moths and locate the source. There are two types of clothes moths and the pheromone lures are specific to the type of moth - if you use the wrong type of lure your trap will not catch any moths. I bought three types of traps and this one worked the best in our situation. I recommend trying more than one type of trap to find one that works for you. It will cost more than trying one type of trap but should be more effective.

The pheromones in this brand of trap did not attract the insects in MY closet --- darn it all. Set up 2 traps last November, and not one moth was caught in the last 4 months. Will go back to Safer brand next time.

This product not only did not catch one moth, it was horrible to set up. I couldn't get the paper off the sticky stuff, then I couldn't get the sticky off of me or anything i touched. HORRIBLE product. Put this out at the same time as Terro product, which was easy to use and caught dozens of moths.

I do have moths in my house. This is the best of all of the products that I have found. Immediately effective, catching plenty of moths, and is non-toxic. Traps last about 6 months depending on your infestation. I have even take the trap out of old traps and put them in ones that did not work and caught moths!
