IMHO they're junk. You'ld be better served and probably save money just installing / fixing screens on the doors and windows. And the spiders are working hard to eliminate the problem already. How about a bat house?

Jean, I don't know anything about E-trap, but the entomologists say that those 'bug zappers' do not attract pest speces (like mosquitos) and kill lots of the useful kinds. Depending on the moth types you are troubled with, Gardens Alive offers several femerone based traps. I would'nt want to be without them to control meal moths in the pantry.
