Moths from birdseed stored nearby get into the cat food and ruin it. Will this keep the moths out?

I don't know for a fact, but it keeps our dog food fresh. That means it is air-tight. If air cannot get in, I cannot imagine moths can get in.

We have two different Vittles Vaults for dog and cat food and live on 5 acres. We've had the Vaults for over a year and never had a creature find its way into them. The lids seal securely when screwed all the way down.

Try utilizing a large aluminum pie tin fastened to the lower perch. To be frank, nothing works 100% because the seed hulls will be blown out of the pie tin even under the slightest of wind. You can also try an artificial grass mat directly under the feeder to trap the hulls, shaking it out every few days. Good luck!

Yeah there's a slit at the top to let the hangers out, bugs could easily get in but it's got a cedar block in the back to discourage moths and bugs. I expect there's some sort of spray or something you could use around the area to keep bugs out though. Apart from that it is sealed, hope this helps

I don't think there's a remedy for the messy birds. Like you said, they pick through the food to get what they want. I guess you have to move the Feeder. I put ours over a bush, so we don't see the seed all over the place.

In my experience I used I can of cat food to catch an opossum. Most of the food stayed within the cage. Literally in the cat food tin itself and just a small amount was placed outside the cage to entice the animal. There is no need to disguise or hide the cage in anyway. Just set it out in a known activity area i.e. Look for droppings, and set the trap.

I've not had that problem and I'm not quite sure. The plastic covering the top may prevent the rats. I know the wire around the feeder sure helps keep the doves and pigeons out. Good luck.

It keep away moths, I have cedar rings spaced on hangers--I take them off about every four months and spray them again then put them back on hangers and back in the closet ---- have never had a moth hole and I have knit St Johns clothes

Haha! I bought it for the same reason! I'm sure placing the bird feeder at eye level for the cats will not scare off the birds. Although, I would probably place some birdseed on the ground so that they get used to seeing and eating from the ground near the feeder.

it clicks tight to close, probably similar to a Tupperware. I'm not sure if it will keep out cupboard moths. We don't get those.

I just found this message. Sorry if its late...Moth balls are for silk. To keep the moths from eating it.I did not notice any strange smell. It could be where it was stored.

If you have it zipped up tight I couldn't see how moths could get in unless they chew through the outside...

We had to remove the other bird feeders in our yard for a week or so, so the birds had "no choice" but to use this one. At first, I thought it was going to be a wash because once the birds found it, they would still just grab one or two seeds and then fly away to eat them, then return only to fly away again to eat. I was a little bummed out because it seemed like more of a buffet tray than a table. Fast forward another few weeks and now we have woodpeckers, cardinals, and titmice that visit several times a day. I have my two feeders right next to one another about 3 feet from my desk and they don't hesitate to swoop right in. One thing you might want to consider is that the birds might want a "resting area" within three feet of the feeders so they avoid crashing into them ... a pole or plant or stick allows them to fly on to that and land, then take the little hop over to the feeders so they aren't coming in at full steam. Good luck, you and your cats should have a lot of fun! :)

It works fine. Use either cat food or sunflower seeds and something stinky like cheese . Make sure you cover it with a burlap sack or an old sheet. They don't spray then. Be very gentle and keep the blanket /cover on it when you open the front . They will be so happy to leave they do not even look back! Good luck. We have 80 acres we take them to..... 25 miles away. ;-)

Well, DUH! Of course they attract the moths ..in YOUR CLOSET/PANTRY ! That's what they are supposed to do. Your gardener is right, but thats OUTSIDE (why would you put a pantry moth trap outside?). These traps are supposed to be placed in inside places where moths are a problem. We unknowingly were bringing home these moth "eggs" on canned goods from a small specialty store, and they would hatch/procreate in our pantry. We noticed the moth infestation at the back of the store one day, and a light bulb glowed! These traps wiped them out in about 4 weeks - they coated the inside of the traps. We, of course, do not shop at that store anymore Well, DUH! Of course they attract the moths ..in YOUR CLOSET/PANTRY ! That's what they are supposed to do.

I have one in a book case and it catches moths. These are not as effective as another brand I've used but they are pretty good.

No not really, I had assumed it would keep bugs away but it does not. It is not exactly air tight. I recommend storing it where there are air flow. Most often bugs come in through the bag of which the rice came in from, so be aware of where you buy you rice.

Put a few of the herbal moth away all around your closet and that should keep the moths away. It really works for me.
