No bait to put inside anymore and so they DON'T WORK ANYMORE!!! Don't waste your money and Hovex put the lure back in your traps or you'll keep getting these negative reviews - why change them when they worked so well, shame on you!!!! :( :( :( Show details

Can’t believe people say they don’t work. I had an infestation of moths getting in to all sorts of products in my pantry. We would spray every day. Someone bought me these and there are literally hundreds in the trap. Had them there for 4 months now. I haven’t seen a moth for last 2 months. Definitely recommend them. Show details

I purchased two of them as I’ve got a big pantry and they’ve worked well. See photos. I’ve been in place for over two weeks and they’re still catching boss because the eggs are hatching Show details

Hovex moth trap works just fine – This is the only pantry moth trap that works for me. I get dozens of moths in each trap before I change them out. Local Woolies doesn’t stock them now and their generic brand is crap and doesn’t catch anything. I’m having to travel to buy Hovex in particular. Show details

They work fine – Obviously not 100% of moths will fall for this trap but It has 80-90% efficiency of getting moths in your kitchen from what I’ve seen so I value this product  Show details

Very effective – After discovering an infestation I stripped pantry of products & thoroughly cleaned. New products were placed in sealed containers. I left a trap as insurance against another infestation. Haven’t seen anything for 6 months & forgot about the trap. On checking the trap discovered it had caught at least 20 small moths. I immediately replaced it with a new one & will be checking & replacing regularly from now on. Show details

Ineffective. Other brands better – COULD not find our normal brand, so we tried Hovex. (How different could they be!?) HOVEX did not work. The set of two were freshly purchased, but the moths did not stick. Formula was not as sticky and the pheremone also did not work. The moths flew all around it, but not drawn to trap at all. Once we even WAFTED the trap under a moths nose, but… Read more

NOTHING! USUALLY you only have traps out for ten minutes and the beasties head toward it. Will not buy Hovex again.

Previously worked but now a waste of money – I have used this product before, around 12 months ago and it was very effective. But this time around exactly the opposite. The product has obviously been changed. Going by the comments there are a lot of people that have had exactly the same disappointment. The product should be taken off the shelves until it is rectified. Why change a successful formula in the first place? Show details

Absolutely Useless! Doesn't Work!!! – Since they changed this product and got rid of the lure and "supposedly" put it in the glue instead, they are simply useless and do not do anything! A complete waste of money. Not even one moth stuck in months. Previous ones had dozens. Bring back the old design Hovex or risk losing all your customers. I will not be buying this product again unless they go back to old style. Show details

Don't waste your Money.. Ineffective – This Used to be a Highly effective Moth trap... but the attractant is now in the glue, rather than a pink infused pad. I've tried using 4 new traps in the last week and collectively they have caught 1 (One) moth. Useless. Show details

The Hovex Pantry Moth Traps no longer work. There is no central lure and they are totally inefficient – I have been using these pantry moth traps for years and had always found them efficient. I bought some earlier this year and they came without the pink square lure which is placed in the middle of the trap. I originally thought that they had changed the product or that it was some product error. Could this be it? Should they still come with… Read more

a lure? My house is now full of moths and I have these traps in all the rooms in which I keep food, so they obviously no longer work.

New Version - Doesn't attract Moths – I have been using Hovex Moth Traps with separate Lure for years. I have birds so moths generate in Bird Seed. These new ones don't attract moths. I have searched for another company and Hovex is the only one selling Moth Traps. Disappointed with the product. A waste of money. I am going to return them and get a credit from the shop. Show details

A waste of time and money!!!! – Just like all the reviews before me, we have been using this product for years and in the past 12 months or so, they have removed the bait and now only comes with a sticky trap. It's a complete waste of time and does not work at all. I placed it in the pantry and therefore plenty of moths flying around and none gets trapped. Why change it when it was perfect. Show details

These are a waste of money as the new style dont work – Hi, have keep the moth population down using hovex traps for years. I date them so that I know they are fresh. Now I have good woollen garments with holes all through them. I am very disappointed, why did you decide to change something that worked perfectly, very disappointed, I should send you a bill for my damaged scarves, tops vests and… Read more

The new version of Hoyex pantry moth traps – The new version of these moth traps are frankly useless and a con. They do not work at all but are still expensive. Stockists should take note and not stock them. Very displeased with this product. Show details

Moth Trap not working this time – I have been using this product for a few years now and it normally works amazingly well. But, I purchased and set up new trap week ago. Disappointed to find the product has changed from a bait and sticky surface to now a large sticky surface and no bait to lure the moths. I don't believe the sticky surface itself has any bait luring quality to it… Read more

as it doesn't attract any moths flying around. Made in China hey Hovex, they have omitted the active ingredient and short changed you therefore a waste of time and money for your consumers.

Exceeded my expectations!! – Bought this moth trap only two days ago to put in our pantry and within days it has already caught what seems to be majority of the moths! Highly recommend this product if you’ve got some sneaky lil buggers hiding in cupboards or pantries. Show details

No effective – Last time I bought this product it was very effective. This time I shouldn't have wasted my money. I kill more moths a day with my hands than the trap has caught in a month. No happy. Will not buy this product again. Not sure what they changed. I did notice the trap itself was different. Just isn't effective. Show details

Are Quickly Effective – The lure seal foil just opened . A moth came around before I assembled the trap . Previously only noticed a couple of moths each day. Two Hours later, seven in one trap, three in the other. The Hovex pantry moth traps , are quickly effective. Show details

A waste of money and sticky mess – I ran out of my preferred brand and could not get more in store. As a result i purchased Hovex pantry moth traps. Should not have bothered. The first trouble I had was in peeling off the cover over the sticky surface. The adhesive seemed to be oozing out and the product did not have a safe handling area. It got onto my hands and was very… Read more

difficult to remove. I was extra cautious with the second trap but i had the same problem as with the first. Having placed them in my pantry over a week ago with a pair of my preferred brand of moth traps I went to check how effective they were. No moths have been attracted to either Hovex trap in over a week. Whereas the other brand is covered in dead moths. I am very disappointed that a product available everywhere has failed so appallingly and one that has been very successful is difficult to find. I would not recommend Hovex pantry moth traps as they are a waste of money.

Catches more moths than I expected – My Mum put me on to these and we swear by them. Easy to make up following the instructions - just don't get the sticky stuff under the paper strip you pull off onto your fingers. Pop it anywhere in your house and forget about it. Check it a few weeks later and you'll be surprised how many of those annoying tiny moths it's captured. No smell to the bait lures so no issues. Bunnings have pockets of 2. Wish they were a little cheaper.

Great product – These come in a box of two traps. They are very simple to assemble and extremely effective. I have had success using mine in my pantry so will continue to use and recommend this product. They are around $10 a box and I purchased mine from Woolworths.

Pensioners be warned! – Hello fellow age pensioners. DO NOT WASTE YOUR 'pension money' ON THIS PRODUCT. I bought two a couple of weeks ago and not one moth has been trapped; NOT ONE! In the meantime I have resorted to using an insect spray repellent and 'my hands!' This product is a RIP OFF at $10 per item.

Don't work!!!! – I have used other brands of moth traps that wave worked brilliantly - the Hovex brand on the other hand has caught one moth (by accident). I see moths on the walls beside the trap however they never fly anywhere near it. Very disappointed.

Worked right away – I stuck the lure in the trap and whilst I was putting the trap together into the triangle shape two moths flew into it and stuck on the paper. The lure is really effective, I was impressed and am positive my moth problems will soon be at an end. Thank you Hovex.

No good – Totally the worst one on the market and it's the Lure it just doesn't attract moths , so I always buy the Envirosafe one the Lure drives them crazy !!!

Worked instantly – As soon as I opened the pack the moths instantly started flying to it. Checked them after 30 min and at least 20 moths were stuck on the paper. So relieved after throwing out so much food and using another brand that just made everything smell and taste strange.

Best of the best – attracted moth while setting them up.... serious test, in a pet shop with massive amount of seed etc to feed moth. Have used another brand, but they did not come close to the attraction of the Hovex brand. Would recommend these to anyone with a moth/weevil problem.

Does what it's supposed to - traps moths – I have used both brands and wouldn't hesitate to buy Hovex if I couldn't find the other. +++ Traps were filled and did exactly what they were promoted to do. +++ Able to buy them easily at Coles, Woolies and Bunnings (my shopping places) No negatives.

Hovex worked well – Hovex moth traps worked well. I thought they weren't but you have to leave them for a few days then when I looked again they were full,so went and got some more.

Useless Hovex pantry moth traps – The only one caught by these traps was me - silly enough to pay over $11 for a bit of three sided sticky cardboard. After failing to catch any moths overnight in a kitchen where I counted seven on the walls I held the trap above a moth expecting it to be enticed in. Didn't happen. Then I placed the 'trap' completely over a moth on the wall. … Read more

The moth fluttered onto the sticky side, then flew off.

Conclusion: The trap sides are not sticky enough to catch moths. The bait is ineffective.

On the box it says the bait is "a special moth pheromone (sex lure) that excites male moths." Well maybe all my moths are either female or gay, because they were totally disinterested in the bait.

Hovex Pantry Moth Traps Are Not Effective – I have used Envirosafe Pantry Moth lures over a few years and found them to very effective. However they were not available and I purchased Hovex Pantry Moth Traps and found them to be useless. Caught only 3 moths over several days and when I opened the pantry there were still moths flying around not going near the lure. Waste of money and they are not cheap. I will not be buying them again and would like to be able to get the Envirosafe brand.

Brilliant! – They are so easy to set up. Put it in the pantry and I caught literally hundreds. Expensive but worth it.
