We are using the Allure traps for moths. We got quite a few in the traps, but some of the traps are empty
We sprayed into the fireplace all the cracks we saw and sealed it up. That's where we thought they were coming from well what is left will they die on their own eventually?
Answer:
Do you by chance know what kind of moths you have? Allure MD For Stored Product Moths-24 pack is only labeled for a certain species of moths, you can refer the label to see the complete lists of moths. Depending on the moth you have may or may not be the reason as to why you are not seeing results, in the case that they are not labeled for them. Also, how many traps do you have out & what is the size of area you treating? How long do you the traps out before replacing & how often are you checking them? Have you by chance been able to locate the source of the infestation? With pantry pests there is an affected source of some sort & the moths will not be fully controlled until that is cleaned up/removed. Â Have you been using a residual product aside from just the lures & if so how far away from the traps are you spraying? Regarding the fireplace, depending on the product, it will have a residual that will affect the moths if they land where you sprayed. However, you should not spray anything inside of a fireplace. Is there anything in the fireplace that may be attracting the moths there? For example there could be acorns from squirrels attracting them there & they will continue to come back until they are removed.Â
