Review by April D. (Posted on Monday 23 April, 2012)5 Stars!
These things work GREAT! I followed the instructions to the letter and ALL 3 of the traps I purchased have a LOT of dead beetles in them. I feel so much better about using these instead of using toxic chemicals in my home!
Review by Michele (Posted on Friday 02 March, 2012)no beetles yet
put out trap 3 days ago, not one beetle....still seeing the larvae
Reply : There are a lot of circumstances that can change the effectiveness of the trap. Some of these can include things like mis-identification of the pest, incorrectly installing the bullet lure, wrong placement, and etc. Among those, like you mentioned, you may have a poor batch of pheromones since usually, the glue remains effective for at least 2-3 months. Also, keep in mind that normally, varied carpet beetle activity begins in late spring and early summer. Varied carpet beetles will be attracted to pheromones during their activity season and if you are not catching any, it is because they are right now, inactive. If there are any problems with the trap, you must contact us within 30 business days so that we can exchange the product for you.
Review by Eric Nuckols (Posted on Sunday 05 February, 2012)Not working as expected.
I have had 3 of these traps out for 2 weeks and have been killing live beetles around them, but not a single beetle has ventured into the traps. I decided to put the traps next to locations where I have killed several beetles over a period of 3 to 4 days, but nothing.
Unless I am missing something, I don't think the traps are working, or I got a bad batch of pheromones.
These are in my house and have been out since late Jan. 2012 going into middle Feb.

Review by G L DAvis (Posted on Thursday 12 January, 2012)Carpet Beetle trap
I bought three traps to see what I am dealing with. I set one trap out but possibly because it's winter, I have seen no adult beetles in the trap so far. I was hoping this would attract the larva as well but apparantly not. I have seen larva outside the trap which I am addressing currently so if any of those gross little things reach the adult stage -- I'm hoping to see it work.
I was confused about how the lure was used in the trap and had to ask if I needed to open the vial or use it as is. Customer support told me to use the vial as it is once it was out of the foil container and not to open the vial.
Review by Billy High (Posted on Monday 12 September, 2011)Great trap! The Varied Carpet Beetle Trap works superbly.
Rated by Bobby Bradley (Posted on Sunday 28 August, 2011) Rated by Arnold Harrell (Posted on Thursday 21 July, 2011) Review by Johnny Wall (Posted on Friday 28 January, 2011)I had a problem with carpet beetles earlier this year in my common room and it was pretty stressful. The Varied Carpet Beetle Trap caught beetles in less than a week and we definitely noticed the difference very quickly.
Review by Laurence Pollard (Posted on Sunday 19 December, 2010)It was great!
Review by Jim Burnette (Posted on Saturday 20 November, 2010)At first, I didn't even know what these things were. I just knew we had a lot of them. I found some worms (later I discovered they were larva) and some adults so I browsed the internet and found out they were carpet beetles. I bought this carpet beetle trap as well as some spray and they were gone in less than two weeks! I'm so relieved.
Review by Herbert Gates (Posted on Wednesday 30 June, 2010)I had a hard time using the trap because the vile was quite confusing to use at first, but once we figured out how to set the trap, it was very easy to place and very effective. I guess those pheromones really do attract them!

Q. When placing the pheromone lure in the trap do you open the container or place the container on the tape as is?
A. There is a bullet that contains the pheremones inside. That bullet that looks like a vile is placed entirely on the center of the glue board. Do not take the pheromone beads out of the vile. The design of the bullet actually helps to slow release the pheromone so that you do not overflow the room with the attractant.

Q. not one beetle in trap
have put out my carpet beetle trap for 3 days, not one beetle?
A. You still want to give it at least a week. It does take some time because it is a pheromone based trap. You always want to make sure that you are targeting the correct species of beetle. Often times, many species of beetles can be mistaken for varied carpet beetles.
