Die moths. Die. I generally do not review a product the same day that I make a purchase, unless it's either very good, or very bad. MaxGuard Clothes Moths Traps are better than good. I've recently been at war with an army of invading moths. You know that part in the story of the Exodus where Moses begins calling down plagues from heaven, and one natural disaster is the precipitate to a myriad of other subsequent disasters? Yep. That's been my life for the past two months. Replace the plague of locusts with moths and you get the idea. It began with a bag of old blankets and stuffed animals that I removed from my parents' basement, at their request, as it had been stored there for several decades. After seeing a few moths fly out of the bag I decided not to keep most of the items. They that I kept were promptly washed. That did not solve the problem as I assumed that it would. I won't recount the full details of my ordeal here, but let's just say that my cats and I are going to need therapy from the trauma of having these flying, clothes-eating, cat tree loving, demons, tormenting us for several months. Most people are naturally aware of the fact that both kinds of clothes/carpet moths (case-bearing and webbing) like natural fibers such as wool, leather, feathers, fur, etc., but we assume that an infestation would be limited to items in our closets like sweaters and socks. They are attracted to things that contain keratin, which is found in most natural or organic products. I have cats. Cats have fur. Guess what is in cat hair? Keratin. So, what began as a few moths flying out of a bag and feasting on my favourite sweaters, some towels, and some socks, turned into an all-out invasion in which these winged monsters from the pit of hell were making their homes in my cats' beds, trees, and toy buckets. I spent a good deal of money on moth balls which made my cats sick. Duh! Then I purchased a ton of cedar products. Trial and error. I bought CedarSpace cedar blocks off of Amazon and those worked so well that within a week there was about an 85% reduction in the amount of moths. I'm also a clean freak by nature so of course I've been vacuuming the heck out of everything as well as shampooing my carpets and cats' trees, as well as trashing most of the items that have moth larvae attached. The items that I'm not willing to or cannot part with are being thoroughly vacuumed and washed with Angry Orange, which seems to help tremendously. There's been an improvement, however, there are still a few flying around. Those few can easily lead to being a few hundred within a week or so, since female moths lay approximately 40-50 eggs at a time. As previously mentioned, I have cats. Cats have fur. Moths love fur. I'm not taking any chances on revisiting the chaos of the previous weeks, so when I saw a few of these brazen little effers flying around my apartment, despite the drastic improvement by using cedar blocks, I frantically searched Amazon for another product that I could spend my hard-earned money on that would work to kill the remaining moths. There was a myriad of moth traps that showed up in my search results. While I'm sure that most of them are good, my experience has been so traumatic that I don't want good ... I want great. After a period of deliberation, I decided to purchase these traps by MaxGuard. It was quite possibly the best financial decision regarding moth killing products that I've made since late August. No exaggeration - literally within less than two minutes after opening the package and folding just one of the traps, the remaining moths that had been hiding emerged from the pit of hell where they live and began circling the area. In less than five minutes one was snagged and was lying there as an example to all of the other moths that they'd better find somewhere else to be fruitful and multiply! In less than ten minutes, three more were snagged. Then another, and another ... Maybe you're thinking that five to seven moths in about ten minutes time doesn't sound like many, but keep in mind that presently, there aren't many left in my apartment. They that remain will meet their fate in a MaxGuard moth trap. Carpet and clothes moths are slightly different. Well now ... I had both kinds, (case-bearing and webbing) which is partly why my ordeal was an all out war between my cats and I, and this army of winged invaders. It was so bad that I think my experience may qualify as a low budget feature film at a sci-fi convention: Moths From Hell. Picture me and twelve cats running from moths like Tippi Hedren ran from the psychotic birds in Hitchcock's 1963 classic. MaxGuard moth traps live up to its claims of attracting both types. They are very easy to put together - it takes less than a minute - and the results are immediately noticeable. It's money well spent. If I could give more than five stars to this product, I would. While my cats and I still have PTSD from the moth war of 2023, MaxGuard Clothes Moth Traps are an invaluable investment into peace of mind, and moth elimination. It's like a whole lotta zen in one nicely packaged glue trap.

I ordered these after seeing a clothes moth buzzing my iPad in a room with low lighting (and a wool rug). Before going to bed, I placed one near a Navajo rug displayed on the wall, despite there being no signs of moth infestation. I was stunned to find dozens of carpet moths in the trap the next morning. I’ll be placing the remaining 7 near other collectible rugs today, and ordering another box for closets and rooms with wool floor rugs.

Remember these only trap MALE moths. So if you’re still seeing moths flying around they are probably female. It takes a while for new moths to hatch and trap the males so they can’t reproduce. That said, there will always be a few that mate so you’ll get some new moths. They hide in vacuum bags and in vents etc. Be sure to freeze your vacuum bags for 48 hours after vacuuming where you find moths or throw them away. They love wool rugs so check them regularly. I think you have to resign yourself to always having these around:( These traps seem to work just as well as the more expensive Dr.k brand I had purchased before. It does take a while for the moths to hatch and find it, but after they do it caught a ton of them. In fact it caught so many I have to replace the trap because there’s no more room on it. Gross! (They were in the vacuum although I changed the bag.We also found some on our cat tower where I suspect they came from.)

Really helps with my moth problem. Doesn’t capture all of them but really helps control the problem.

Absolutely worth less. Put up Few around our house where there were moths. After several days ZERO were trapped. Killed a couple per day by hand and had 3 drowned in toilet, but none caught in traps!
