The Safer Brand Pantry Pest Trap
Protect Your Dry Foods From Moth Destruction
The Safer Brand Pantry Pest trap lures and traps meal moths, grain moths, flour moths and seed moths that infest kitchen cupboards, dry food pantries and other food storage areas. This safe and hassle-free system helps pinpoint breeding moths and feeding larvae so you can quickly and effectively get rid of an infestation.
Easy-to-Use Traps Provide Weeks of Protection
The Pantry Pest Trap features a convenient triangular shape that easily fits into hard-to-reach nooks and corners. Equipped with two traps and two time-released pheromone lures, this natural pest control solution protects an average size room and lasts up to three months.
How it Works
- Time-released pheromone lure attracts adult males
- Moths enter trap and stick to the glue inside
- Trapped moths indicate a potential infestation
- Eliminating adults helps break the breeding cycle
How it Works
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Drop Lure into TrapOpen lure packet and drop pheromone chip into the hole on the bottom of trap. Lure will stick to the glue inside. |
Position Trap in Vulnerable AreaPlace the baited trap in areas where dried foods are stored, like cupboards, garages and basements. Ensure the trap receives ample air circulation while remaining undisturbed from swinging doors and foot traffic. |
Replace Every 12 WeeksMonitor traps on a weekly basis, replacing them once they’re full or after 12 weeks of use. |
Preventing Damage
Pantry moth larvae contaminate pantry foods during the feeding process. Identifying adults is the first step in targeting and eradicating these destructive larvae.
About Pantry Moths in Your Home
Identification, Habits and Behaviors
Adult pantry moths are approximately 3/8 inch long with distinctive markings on their brown-bronze wings. The cream-colored larvae have dark brown heads.
From eggs to adults, all stages of pantry moths can be found in your home. Females lay their eggs near food so the larvae can nourish themselves as soon as they hatch. Larvae feed on dry food for up to 6 weeks before constructing a cocoon – usually in the edges and corners of cabinets. Typical foods larvae feed on include:
- cereals, grains, rice and pasta
- flours and meals
- dried fruits and dehydrated vegetables
- candy and chocolate
- nuts and seeds (including bird seed)
- dry pet food

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But my poor housekeeping aside, I stood in the kitchen, opened the sealed bait packet, and dropped it onto the sticky trap. Instantly two moths were circling. A couple hours later there were ten or twelve stuck in the glue. After a week it was covered with them and I had to dispose of it.
The key with these infestations is breaking the lifecycle. You have to get rid of the moths before they can reproduce, which means you need to keep catching the boys for at least a couple weeks, and doing it before the girls can exercise their charms. The best advice is to employ both a trap like this and a larvae insecticide that you apply to your walls in any room where you think the infestation started up near the ceiling. This is because when the larvae hatch they crawl upwards. They hit the insecticide barrier and die (or become unable to cocoon, I don't recall which -- same effect either way).
The insecticide is very effective, I've successfully eliminated these moths in the past with it. However, it is also toxic to just about every living thing -- including your pets and you. So I hate using it in the kitchen.
The third thing you must do (and which I've been lax on) is find and get rid of EVERYTHING that's infested. The infestation is obvious. The larvae form small cocoons usually in the corners of boxes and walls (look up at the angle between your wall and ceiling). But they'll also eat their way into envelopes, like packets of taco seasoning. You can spot the tiny round hole. They like dry goods, and I've even found then in soap powder. Zipper closure bags aren't effective -- they can chew through them. They can also worm their way inside of twist cap tops on jars and I recently found them inside a can of McCann's Steel Cut Oatmeal where the metal lid was firmly shut. Maybe in that case they got in when I had the can open to make oatmeal (I do not mean to suggest that the oatmeal was infested when bought it). Put dry goods into firmly sealed hard plastic or glass containers.
And the final thing to do is freeze the suspect foods. Any bag of bird food that enters my apartment goes right into the freezer for at least three days. That kills the eggs. If you can keep things like flour and cereal in the fridge you'll have better luck, too.
This product as an excellent part of a moth eradication program. The box contains two, and you should use them both one after the other (don't set them up in two places at once, that confuses the moths) in addition to my other steps above.
Getting rid of moths takes a bit of persistence and patience especially with a major breakout because they can lay their eggs elsewhere besides food and they can eat through plastic bags. It can be done with this product.
1. Throw out any food that might be infected. For any food that might be questionable, store for a couple months in the freezer in order to kill the eggs (the refrigerator is not cold enough). Storing dry goods in airtight containers is recommended to contain any potential infestations brought in with new products.
2. Inspect anything else within the pantry as well including boxes and books. (I found one inside of a cookbook.)
3. Wipe down all the surfaces - including any holes (I had holes for shelving fixtures where I found several moth nests - I used a cleaner with Q-tips to clean them out).
4. Look out regularly for moths around the infestation area (usually on the ceiling somewhere in the room) and kill them on sight. During the first week we had to look daily. At some point, you will not see any more moths, however, you may have more appear a couple weeks or a month later because of any missed eggs that may have hatched.
It's no fun, but it can be done with some patience and persistence. Good luck!
