How long does trap last?

Mine have lasted up to six months, that is, they are still catching moths up to six months. Of course whenever full, it's a good idea to replace it regardless of how old.

Based on a user suggestion we used the fly trap sticky paper instead of the one that comes with these products. What you do is put the lure on that sticky paper and then hang the sticky strip near the moth traffic. Works like a charm and has lot more room to catch these buggers...

Not sure how long they last because when there are no more moths, about a week or so. I just check each day to see if anybody else got caught, and I don't see any more in a few days its over. But I recommend every few weeks open one and put it in the pantry near flour or pasta. If they come back that's where they will start.

Check to see if there is anything stuck in the trap. Food, debris, rodent, etc. I would also try using fresh batteries to see if that helps. Good luck.

No. Trap doesn't work. I put it in the hole directly in the top before putting white tube on. Works great!

I wouldn't bet on it. It break easily. I would use victors large snap traps. THEY WORK GREAT!

As soon as it gets wet because the pellets expand similar to a tampon. The good thing is that you don't need very much litter at all. Just a shallow layer on the base of the pan works perfectly. My 26-pound bag lasted about 7 weeks. I changed the litter 2-3 times a day for my 4lb rabbit.

The trap must be reset after it goes off however I have found two mice in it at once. I think however they went in together.

We recommend releasing an animal as soon as possible once it has been caught. We do not have a specific time frame for how long they can be contained.

I have used mine for a year and it is still working great. It is a deadly trap for anything that trips it.

Three months or so. The sticky surface will last as long as there is surface available - I think that it is the moth mating pheromones (sp) that likely wear out.

I have not been able to trap anything in this trap. I would not recommend. Also the bar that keeps the doors shut lifts off extremely easily once moved. If i were to ever trap anything in it I would use electrical ties to keep door closed for transport.

The traps themselves have a molasses or syrupy smell, its the bait, but it fades in a day or two. You don't smell anything after that.

The bags only last about 1 season where as the plastic traps are good for many years and are cleanable. I would not recommend that you do not collapse them at the end of the season as they do tend to suffer a little from ultraviolet light.

This trap is collapsible but sets up easily within 2 to 5 minutes. Can be collapsed for easy storage until needed again.

I have the Victor or Catchmaster Tin Cat Clear Top (2 Pack) which I think is this same trap. I have had good results with my traps catching over 30 mice in the past couple years (we have wood heat and they sneak in with the wood), I clean it after each use - easy with a clorox wet wipe. This is a humane trap so you have to release them yourself but it is not difficult at all, I have never had any trouble - simply go a good distance from your home, set it down and open top, step back and off they go.

Traps should be washed and disinfected with a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts of water and let it remain on for 20 minutes). After the 20 minutes, thoroughly rinse the trap. This can be done after each catch to help stop the spread of any potential disease.

This trap worked for awhile, but the larger one took some slight damage and ultimately would not set. It will take some needle nose pliers, I used 90° needle nose pliers to bend it to where it would work. This trap (larger one) is a good trap - until it gets banged up.

It lasts for several months, depending upon the size you purchase. I have several dogs so I get the larger size for dogs (but not the largest) and it lasts me at least three months.
