Catches Gypsy Moths
This trap is for Gypsy Moths which are also known as Spongy Moths. We have them and they are a serious pest that makes a huge mess. These traps are very easy to use if you want to get rid of the messy moths. Just recycle them when they are full, the traps are laminated cardboard that is eco-friendly. Overall good idea.

Effective and sanitary
Nice disposable solution for gypsy moths. No water trap to refill which is hard to do when the trap is up in a tree. Best solution for the money.
