Spotting bugs anywhere in your home is unpleasant, but finding pests in your kitchen can be downright unsettling. My first (and second, and third) thought is usually: Where did they come from? How did they get here? And most importantly, how the heck do I get rid of them — and fast?
Amazon, unsurprisingly, has a number of affordable solutions for all kinds of bugs, like “sugar ants” (aka small ants) and pantry moths. Sold in a set of six, Dr. Killigan’s Pantry Moth Traps are a number-one bestseller on Amazon with more than 27,100 five-star reviews. Here’s why shoppers can’t stop raving about them.
What You Should Know About Dr. Killigan’s Pantry Moth Traps
They come in two pretty patterns — one in black and one in blue — and two sizes: a six-pack and a 20-pack. Twenty might sound like a lot, but multiple reviewers have replenished their stash with the larger packs after using up the smaller set.
Reviewers rave about the effectiveness of the traps, and this might have to do with the brand’s formula with “double-potent pheromones” to attract pantry moths like the Almond Moth, Indian Meal Moth, and Mediterranean Flour Moth — particularly the males. This is meant to help stop their reproductive cycle, so you have time to suss out the problem without more moths invading your kitchen.
Setting up the traps is easy: Just take the film off the sticky side, then bring the two outer sides together to form a tent. Set it wherever you feel they’d be most effective in your kitchen. Once the traps fill up, you’ll want to replace them as well as begin tossing out the flour, grains, birdseed, dog or cat food the moths might’ve come from.
The six-pack of traps is currently on sale for just $18, which means each trap is basically $3. Not too shabby for an impactful solution to an unsettling kitchen problem.
