Pro Pest Pantry Moth & Beetle Traps 2 Pre-Baited Traps

I recently purchased some flour from King Arthur online and my husband casually mentioned this past weekend that he had killed a small beetle on the shelf days before.ARGH! Oh the horror! You never saw anyone strip out their pantry faster! He often complains I don’t listen to him but I heard that! LolI found the culprits in that one bag and some tiny pin prick holes in the bag where they had eaten their way out.I googled them and they were cigarette beetles.Well five mins later and I had hit up amazon for a heap of clip lock storage containers and purchased these baits.I took all of my flours, nuts, dried fruit and grains out of my panty and inspected each bag carefully and once each bag got the all clear I transferred the contents to the storage containers, got the bags outside ASAP and hit my shelves with peroxide - while I was waiting for the traps to come I had to do something! I have no idea if the peroxide did anything but it made me feel better!The beetles seemed to be restricted to that one bag except for a tell tale beetle husk I found elsewhere.Set these traps the next day thinking I got all the little suckers already and within a hour had trapped a couple of beetles. Horrified at the amount of pantry items I might have lost, I quickly purchased another pack and set up beetle trap land mines at both ends of that shelf and on the floor.A couple days later we have captured ten enemies and two of them are a different slightly larger type - I’m thinking they sent in the big guns when the little guys didn’t return. I now have the whole area staked out and under constant surveillance.I even saw a tiny moth fly into the pantry looking for the lure, so he met a quick demise.These things are amazing! No pesticides no residue, clean and safe and extremely desirable to bugs.I’m thinking from now on I will just leave these little tents set up at base camp permanently and replace regularly just in case any of the enemies mount another attack! God forbid, but we will be lying in wait next time!These traps are wonderful!Highly recommended!PS. These traps just caught a scorpion in our closet under our stairs! We are in Arizona and anything that disposes of scorpions in our house gets a big thumbs up from me!!! Not sure if it was attracted to the scent or to the couple of tiny bugs already in there but WIN WIN! I love these things!!!PSS. I now have these things in my garage, under the stairs, under furniture, tucked way in the back where they can’t be seen. I’m obsessed. I have caught pill bugs (kinda cute and harmless but I don’t want them inside) and cockroaches in the garage. Pantry moths and pantry beetles and scorpions and crickets, and even a spider in the house!I switch them out every couple of months and I will always use them from now on as they are harmless to my dog babies and give me extra security that nothing is lurking or breeding silently in the dark corners of my house.Please do not be tempted to use them outside! They will trap little lizards and other beneficial critters and could get stuck to a small bird attracted to all the stuck bugs.For inside the house though these things are a godsend!

I was shocked to discover a cigarette beetle infestation in my walk-in pantry; I had no idea how bad it was until I pulled everything out. I put these traps in a week before tackling the clean-up, but they only snared one beetle. Clearly, they weren't the solution I needed.

in the midst of moving last month, i was beset by mealmoth invaders. they came pouring out of boxes and from dark hiding holes. my pantry was under siege. for long hours i planned my defense. i monitored their activity, where they sleep, who their leaders were. once i was sure i had enough information, i deployed my home's second most powerful weapon. this tent-like contraption lures them in with a twisted sweet promise, and once inside, they can never escape. it took only one night to see the devious slaughter at work. a whole platoon of mealmoths had been lured, 22 in one night. all lie helpless in its treacherous embrace. one night after, a second platoon was captured. you can imagine my glee. i set the second up with care, in another room to allow the first to do its bloody work alone. and every night, when the sun went down, i erected the electric bug zapper, truly the finest and most powerful of my home defenses. each night, slews of mealmoths met their end. soon, however, i was being buried in the avalanche of their corpses. the traps that had lured so many to their demise, had run out of room to feed. once used, they cannot be reused. they were disposed of carefully, with gloves. a veritable graveyard of my enemies, disposed of in the garbage. after 5 days, i had won the day. the tides had shifted. scores of the enemy lay dead and broken at my feet. perhaps i did not claim all of their lives, but their army was broken. their will, extinguished. should they mount for another battle, it will be the new homeowners problem. my lifelong war on bugs lies in distant, foreign lands.

I have had an infestation of pantry beetles for several weeks. After cleaning up all the open products that seemed to attract the beetles, I was left with strugglers coming out of who knows where. I purchased these traps hoping to eliminate the problem.Alone, the traps worked ”ok, ” and captured a few beetles. However, when I decided to put a LED light inside one of the traps, that’s when it really started to work. The combination of the light, the pheromones, and the glue is deadly and very effective. Now the beetles are much more attracted to the traps and I am finally winning this annoying battle. So, buy it and put an LED light in it (do NOT use an incandescent bulb or anything that runs hot, or it will catch on fire!). You will be happy with the results.
