5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great product!, April 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Springstar S202 Flour and Pantry Moth Trap (Lawn & Patio)

Last year I subscribed to a program that supplied prepackaged food every month for weight loss. As I was using the products, I noticed much to my disgust and dismay, several items in the box were infested with the pantry moth larva. Even though I threw the box and food away immediatly, it was too late. We began to see that they had infested the kitchen and pantry. I threw away every single food item I had in the house, even cookbooks and paper products in a desperate attempt to get rid of them.
I still had the moths. Sometimes 3 or 4 a day in my kitchen. I consulted an exterminator who advised me to go through my cupboards again and to spray insecticide into alll of the cabinets joints and crevices. I followed his direction; we still had the moths.
Finally I researched the problem on-line and saw the pantry moth lure. It worked immediatly! As soon as my husband opened the lure,(it looks like a piece of bubble gum and has no discernable smell to humans), we saw 7 or 8 moths start flying around it. Within hours they were all stuck inside the trap flypaper.
I have had at least two of these traps in my house since then and have not seen any flying moths or larva.
This is a great item! It is small, totally odorless and discreet, cheap, non toxic, and IT WORKS!

2.0 out of 5 stars It's somewhat effective, but there are better options..., August 25, 2005

I found these traps to work fine for the first 2-3 weeks, but then they stopped catching moths. I don't know if it's because the glue got less sticky as a result of dust, or if the pheromone strength wore off. Another problem with this trap is that because of its shape, the moths will fly into the corners and explore the trap, but they might not necessarily go inside and get stuck on the gluey surface.

I also tried the Cupboard Moth Traps and I think the Cupboard traps work better than the Springstar traps. The traps are flat, so the moths get stuck almost immediately. Another advantage is that if you notice a moth flying around, you can grab a trap and try to swat at the moth and get it stuck on the surface--you can't do that with the Springstar trap. The trap still has the problem where it seems to lose its effectiveness after 3-4 weeks, but overall I'm quite happy with it.

I get pantry moths from bird seed and have used many brands of pantry moth traps in the past. Thought I'd give this brand a try and have had them out for two weeks. Neither trap has attracted a single moth, in fact, my swatting them is doing a better job of eliminating them. I've tried other brands of pantry moth traps before that attracted the little buggers as I removed the lure from the package, but not this one. They were more expensive than other pantry moth traps also. I'd buy a different brand than this one.
