Review on 👕 Safer Brand 07270 Clothes Moth Alert Trap: Protect Your Wardrobe from Moth Infestations by Bobby Chandler

I have ordered from Revain several times and have found them very reliable. One day I received a package missing one of the plastic baits and the company sent me new boxes. Very grateful! It is important to understand that they will not solve your moth problem on their own and they need to be replaced every 3 months. I put them in closets, near lights and windows where I've seen moths fly, and other random places. They tell you a) that the moths are still present in your home and that b) they are likely to appear anywhere within 50 feet or so of the trap. You will not control the infection. I write the replacement date on each trap. I then check them regularly and note the number of moths caught in each trap to see if new moths have emerged. in the cupboard). Empty this closet completely, go through everything carefully, wash everything made of textiles, hot or dry (it doesn't matter the fiber - I've found moths attack nylon bike racks), clean all surfaces and then spray everything carefully. Cracks and crevices and anything that can't be cleaned with alcohol or SLA spray. Plan to repeat the cleaning and spraying in a few weeks, or whenever you see moths in a trap you'll keep in this closet for up to 2 years. Remember that moth eggs are virtually indestructible. Your cleaning efforts will not destroy them, especially those that crawl into cracks and crevices. Even pesticide sprays won't kill them. If you're just catching a few random moths here and there, you'll have to put in some effort to find the source. Set lots of traps (putting one near the source will attract more moths) and don't forget to check things like the backs of tapestries or carpets. I tracked down the source, which turned out to be a wool rug showing no sign of moths, until I noticed a small frayed patch. When I picked up the rug there were dead moths underneath. The randomly flying moths disappeared as soon as I rolled up the rug and sealed it in a large plastic bag, so that was the ultimate test. Since then they have been repeated, probably because the eggs fell into the cracks between the floorboards. I sprayed the floor with rubbing alcohol on the advice of the carpet cleaners who called and it seems to have helped, but I'll probably have to do this a few more times as I'm still seeing new moths in the traps 1-2 times a week . It goes without saying that any wool or silk items you have should be cleaned and stored in an airtight bag or checked regularly for signs of a new infestation (like my Navajo rug/tapestry) while you get the last ones out of the Hideout chasing a moth. You don't have to give them new ones. I hope this helps clarify how these traps should be used and happy moth hunting!
