Clothing Moth Traps

In recent history, I had declared a full on war with the common household clothing moth. For the better part of a year, we coexisted. Eventually the moths became greedy and invaded territories (rooms) claimed by allies (my family)! We attempted political negotiations (shooing and swatting), but to no avail. Their claims over our territory became destructive as they bombed our villages (ate my clothes) and harassed the civilians (flew around me occasionally)! They had overstepped their bounds of this earth and there was simply no other choice - WAR! As the general, I decided to hire an elite assassin (my cat) to skillfully eliminate the enemy (moths) one by one. I trusted her ruthless capabilities with generous compensation (laser pointer play and lap naps) as to be sure the goal was reached. Despite her qualifications (instincts) as an assassin (cat), she had failed the mission. The enemy persisted to make my land (closet) into their home. As my next tactic, I tried chemical warfare (mothballs) but were disgusted by their oder and questionable health effects. The same day the chemical troops were deployed (the balls) I had retracted them. These soldiers were too drastic (they smell awful and aren’t healthy) and I could not sacrifice the civilians (my clothes) to such destruction simply for the enemy. Next, I attempted a more humane and healthy exile. A sustainable chemical compound (vinegar and water) was airdropped from our largest bomber. (sprayed from a spray bottle) This compound is said to deter their kind, but it wasn’t enough. Deterred them, but it did not defeat them and they persisted. NEXT, I attempted a lure and sting approach. (a bug zapper with a UV light) To my surprise, my enemy (clothing moths) were wiser than I had imagined. (Clothing moths, unlike other moths, don’t care about UV lights or lamps) As the general of my land, I grew worried. I had believed that perhaps I had no choice but take some civilian causalities (fumigate my house and wash all my clothes) in order to stop the enemy from claiming any more lives or advancing their territory. Nearly defeated, I consulted my weapons dealer (Amazon) for special weaponry (moth traps). My dealer recommended I consult a shadowy man… DR. KILLIGAN. After meeting with the man (browsing the Amazon description), we had come to an agreement. For a reasonable price (it’s like 13 bucks) he provided his top secret weaponry (these moth traps). As a last hope, I had to try. Within hours, the enemy began to crumble (they got stuck in the glue trap) and their invasive movement was looking like a pipe dream. So foolishly they left my territory and directly into a trap! What they had believed to be paradise was a silent killer all along! They sensed an intoxicating dream (moth pheromones on glue), while my citizens (pets and family) could sense nothing and remained unharmed. After many various attempts, I thought they may be unbeatable. They stood no chance. As we grew to hate them, their silent casualties were a joyous victory. In all seriousness - These things are actually great and I really struggled to get rid of these tiny pest. Easy to use, no rancid dangerous chemicals, no after effects, fairly priced, and they all die in a neat pile so cleanup is easy. They are like magnets, I was able to get success by simply placing one on a shelf in my bedroom and it wiped out the entire room. These beat every solution I had previously in every category. They are subtle, odorless, noiseless, inexpensive, small, no maintenance, EFFECTIVE, pop up traps. And I’ve got several more to spare because they come in 6 packs. Nice. Checkmate, clothing moths.

If you're dealing with a cloth moth infestation, these are a must have. I used them as part of a broader treatment strategy alongside other products (like Cimexa and Sawyer spray), and they were one of the most important tools in the process. The traps actually catch moths, which matters both for reducing the population and for giving you a real sense of where you're at and whether your treatment is working. The pheromone lures are effective and I've been using these long term to keep things under control. At this point they're a permanent fixture in my household. They are expensive, but when you're staring down a moth infestation with all of your wool rugs and nice clothing on the line, the math works out pretty quickly. These are cheap compared to replacing what they're protecting. Highly recommend if you're dealing with this nightmare. Worth noting I have used other brands before Dr. Killigan hoping to avoid the cost, and while they worked I have noticed a significant difference with Dr. Killigan.

Backstory... I'm a beekeeper. We have a stand up freezer in our basement and periodically we will store frames in the freezer to kill off any thing that may be living in the comb after the bees have been removed from it. Things like wax moths and hive beetles. (Feel free to google "wax moth damage to bee frames" or "hive beetle damage to bee frames" and see what kind of damage they can do). At the end of the season last year, I had a surplus of frames we pulled out of hives and we needed to cycle them through the freezer before we put them in sealed totes for storage until next season. I entrusted my husband to take care of this and here we are. He cycled the frames through the freezer but failed to put the lid back on the totes. About a month or 2 later, we started seeing moths upstairs in the house. After killing a few, I went downstairs to the basement and lo and behold, I had discovered that husband didn't put the lids back on the totes and now all the frames were infested with wax moths. GROSS. After removing the totes to outside (it was still relatively cold at night and cold enough to kill whatever was on the frames), we purchased a bug zapper to hang in our basement. That thing was useless. It zapped more dust than anything and didn't even so much as kill any bugs that were drawn to it. This bug zapper is no longer listed for sale on Amazon because there were so many complaints on it. That seller refunded me the price paid for the bug zapper and it wasn't until then that I read a review where it literally set someone's house on fire. We took to swatting what all we could find and our cats helped out by catching the moths and then killing them by playing with them. We thought were were good as we hadn't seen any moths in a while. Nope. Only recently we started seeing a bunch more moths upstairs. I researched moth traps and purchased Dr Killigans and hung one up in the basement once it arrived. Within mere hours.... this trap had caught a dozen or so moths. We hung up another trap in the basement and it's caught a bunch too. I've attached photos and a quick video of the evidence at how well these work. Will definitely buy again as I feel we haven't gotten to the end of these little buggers being in our basement. Lesson learned. Don't entrust your husband to follow through with anything or do the task right the first time. Kudos to the maker for their Dad jokes too. "Dr Kill-again" and "killing them softly."

Really easy to put together. I put 7 of them in a walk-in closet and so far have caught a dozen clothes moths in about a week. I recommend giving this a try. The instructions say they are effective for 3 months. They are a little pricey but much cheaper than an exterminator.

Excellent product! Having lost many hundreds of dollars when moths ate my woolens, I had tried various products. This is the only one that worked. There were moth corpses in the traps within hours of opening. Within days, there were many more. Each trap killed dozens of moths, so the product is cost-effective. I will be buying this product once a month from now on, to keep the pests out. THANK YOU.

Works well. Moths attracted to sticky strip and caught. Highly recommend this product.

Very pleased! Clothes moths snuck home from college with my son last spring. They were everywhere in our house and basement. The traps work great, don't smell, are non-toxic for our pets, and are worth every penny over cheaper options. I am sending my son back to school this fall with more traps for his dorm room.

When using these, it is important to discard, or at least launder/dry clean, severely infested items. In my case, it was several rolled Persian rugs. Then, set up these traps. Generously distributed in affected areas. They are very effective, and cheaper and easier than the pest control coming into the house.

والله زي قلته ولا يصيد شي 🥺💔💔

Excellent results. After one month we have trapped 24 moths.
