Every month here at CleanerToday we sponsor a photo contest in which we invite customers to send us their most impressive photo showing the outstanding pantry moth catching ability of our line of pantry moth traps. Many times, a picture does truly speak a thousand words, or in this case, at least dozens of pantry moths.
Customers who submit one of the five best photos of the month receive a gift certificate that can be redeemed for a set of two pantry moth traps. In addition, all customers who submit a photo showing a used pantry moth trap with at least 10 pantry moths caught will receive 10% off coupon to be applied to a future order. Here at CleanerToday, it pays to take and submit a photo of your pantry moth trapping success stories.

3 Moth Traps with Pantry Moths

We always enjoy hearing from customers who are having a great experience using our pantry moth traps that are able to catch dozens of pantry moths at a time. But we especially enjoying hearing from customers who were surprised at how well our pantry moth traps work, as well as from those customers who were skeptical that our pantry moth traps would be able to catch pantry moths as well as they do.

Pantry Moth Trap Closeup

Kathy was just such as customer, and when she submitted these photos she said:
“I put 6 traps out on 3/15/15 cannot believe how full the traps are in 3 weeks. I am putting new ones in already. Will keep plenty on stock from now on. I am now a believer — was really skeptical they would work when I ordered them.”

More Pantry Moths Trapped

Excellent, Kathy, that is exactly what we love to hear! We are very pleased that you have had a good experience and now know without question that our moth traps are able to catch those pesky pantry moths in your home today.

Sentinel Moth Trap Strategy

Resident Guru — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 07:50:34 +0000

Q: How can I prevent a future moth infestation?

After what seemed to be 6 months of battle with an indianmeal moth infestation, I am either in a lull or I’ve won the war.

I just don’t want to go through this again. So my question is about some form of prevention?
Just like before, I won’t use poisons or pesticides, I insist on a natural / organic approach. But I am not sure what to try.

I had read about using sentinel traps but I don’t recognize the brand name. How are they different from the pheromone sticky moth traps I’ve been using.

Thanks for your help, I used www.moth-trap.info to figure out how to beat the meal moths in the first place.

Margaret C from Decatur

A: Use a sentinel moth trap strategy

Margaret,
Thanks for letting us know that we helped you win your battle. It’s our goal here to get accurate information for fighting a indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella infestation from larvae through adults.

Regarding prevention, we agree that there is no need to risk poisonous pesticides. At the same time we have to recognize that the moth invasions 95% of the time originate with the food we bring in to our homes. Because of this, prevention really doesn’t work (we all need to eat!).

Instead we need to focus on early detection of an emerging moth invasion. Early detection is accomplished by keeping a single early detection trap close to your food storage area. That single early detection moth trap is called a sentinel moth trap. So it isn’t any particular brand of moth trap ( you can continue using which ever brand moth trap you already stocked up on).

Most important when it comes to early detection through a sentinel moth trap is keeping the pheromone lure fresh… Many times I have gone through secondary infestations and would go check my sentinel trap only to find that the date on the trap was 9 months ago, 3 times too long, and the pheromone had dried out. So set reminders and keep the lures fresh!

So you had the right idea using a sentinel strategy, only it’s not a brand name, it’s the name of an approach to Integrated Pest Management IPM.

Nature’s revenge.. Moths Trapped by Pheromones

Having terrible chemical sensitivity & allergic reactions I only purchase natural products. After review the msds sheet, I knew these traps would be ok to have in the house. I am always surprised to find the number of products we place in our homes that are not natural or have dangerous chemical ‘bad actors’ that just don’t need to be there. When looking for a trap I paid even closer attention because the traps were going to be in the same location as my food.

After checking out the details on Revenge, Pantry Pest, and some other industrial moth traps, I ran across Catchmaster traps. Not only were they organic and natural, but they were also very effective! It seemed like only minutes after opening the lure that several moths headed my direction. My moth trap picture is proof that these things work.

Moth trap pheromone lures safer than pesticides?

Resident Guru — Sat, 19 Oct 2013 15:09:04 +0000

Q: Is a pheromone safer than a pesticide?

I have little brown moths in my cereal boxes and want to get rid of them.
When I look up how to control the moths, I see ads for exterminators and moth traps. The moth traps say they use pheromones, but I want to know is a pheromone in a moth trap safer than getting an exterminator?
Will order your product and see what happens.

Bettie G from Missouri

A: YES, Pheromones are safer than pesticides

We never advocate using an exterminator for pantry moths because of the risk of having pesticides (which means pest killers, or poision) near your food.

Here is the Pantry Moth Trap Lure MSDS

When you review the Indian Meal Moth Lure MSDS, notice in Section II under hazardous ingredients reads: NONE. Pheromones are harmless, and very effective for attracting male moths.

The term ‘pheromones‘ means a scent that triggers a social reaction from members of the same species. So for moths, a female pheromone means the scent of a female indianmeal moth ( or any other name for a pantry moth, Plodia interpunctella ). When a male moth is ready to mate, he starts hunting for females, and the pheromone is the way he finds them.

Moth trap pheromones are not toxic, or poisonous and are perfectly safe for use around food products.

Flour Moth Traps from our pantry

Your traps worked like a charm. I brought the flour moths in from some bulk products I bought at an Ethnic market. Could not get rid of moths for months.

Put all food in airtight containers. Meal Moths still multiplied.

Your traps made the difference, just look at the picture of all the moths we trapped.

Thanks so much, I highly recommend your traps.

I ordered them twice, we are almost moth free!

Birdseed and Peanut Moth Traps

Bird Seed Moth Trap Product Review

4.9 out of 5 stars

I spent weeks trying to figure out how to get rid of moths. First I just smashed them on the walls, but they kept coming! Then I tried bay leafs (I read about them online), but no luck. Then I found pheremone moth traps and many reviews about how effective pheremones are at getting rid of moths.
I bought bird seed moth traps, and put them in the basement and upstairs pantry.

I am sending pictures from basement where bird seed is stored and pantry upstairs where peanuts & birdseed is stored. See the results for yourself!

Are Kitchen Moths, Dog Food Moths and Birdseed moths the same?

Resident Guru — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:39:08 +0000

Q: Are the moths I see in my kitchen and my daughters dog food the same?

We have a indoor moth problem. They are small and we’ve been noticing them since March. They are little and wispy. I see them in the kitchen. Our daughter and her family kept their dog food open bag in our large back porch. We also have bird seed in a feeder outside, usually kept in the garage in a storage container. Are all of these moths related?

Will order your product and see what happens.

Johnson from Oregon

A: Birdseed, Dogfood, Kitchen moths are all the same.

All of these moths are the same, they are basically food moths, or commonly called pantry moths. These moths will eat cat food, dog food, bird seed and practically anything you leave open in your cupboards.
These moths can be controlled with pantry moth traps.

Effective pantry moth traps.

Hello – attached is a photo I took of the used traps. They work great! I had no idea there were this many pantry moths. We thought we got rid the source which we found in our pantry in the basement. However, after we set the pantry moth traps, I noticed the female moths were laying eggs in tiny grooves between the rafters in the basement.
I’m definitely going to need more traps!Thanks,

Successful Pantry Pest Traps

CatchMaster Pantry Pest Traps Product Review

5.0 out of 5 stars

No more pantry pests.

I believe in credit where it is due. For 5 months I battled with pantry pests, tried moth-traps from Walmart, Lowes and Home Depot, but nothing but a few moths caught.I saw an ad for catchmaster pantry pest traps and purchased a special that included 8 moth traps. I put the traps out and within 4 days the traps just kept pulling in more an more moths. I couldn’t believe the difference. They say a picture is better, so I am including a picture from my kitchen counter.

Look at all the pantry pests who won’t pester me any more!
