John: Okay, this is a product everyone should have. You should buy them in packs of eight or ten. And the key to success with these items is they have to be fresh. Which I recommend finding the vendor and getting them shipped directly from the vendor or getting a popular one from Amazon where you know it’s fresh:
Pheromone Moth Attractant Sticky Pads.
Adam: Okay, why would we want to have Pheromone Moth Sticky Pads?
John: Well, for one reason, I found a moth attack on one of my Persian rugs.
Adam: Oh, wait, wait, wait. You have Persian rugs?
John: Yeah, I have a couple.
Adam: Do you fly around on them?
John: Persian rugs are a really good price nowadays, by the way.
Adam: But do you have them on the floor or in your…
John: Yeah, they’re on the floor. I got them. They’re all over the place. We have… Everybody in the family has a bunch of these either Turkish or Persian rugs.
Adam: Interesting. Something I did not know about the Dvorak clan. I learn something new every day.
John: These rugs are great. And they’re not expensive anymore.
So the moths… So here’s the deal. There are moths in the world, and they get in the house, and you wouldn’t even know it. I’m telling you, you pull out one of these pheromone moth pack strips—it’s actually a little sticky pad, like you catch a mouse with—when you pull the top off, the pheromones get released. You put it on top of the refrigerator. You put it somewhere. You’ve never seen anything like it. I don’t care how clean and fancy your house is. “There’s no moths in there? No, that’s for sure”. Put one of these on top of the refrigerator, a good fresh one. And within 10 minutes, all of a sudden, you’ll find moths are in your house.
Adam: Oh no, that’s disgusting.
John: Because they’re flying to the attractant, and then they get stuck on the thing. It’s mostly the males.
Adam: And then they’re a tasty treat.
John: Well, no, they’re not. They’re stuck in the goo, and that’s the end of them. Everybody has these stupid moths in their house, and they don’t know it. And you want to get these traps. That’s why they sell them in 10 packs, because that’s how many moths you’ll end up capturing. So this is a big deal. I’m sorry I didn’t do it on the room that had the nice rug in it.
Adam: But if you have it on top of the refrigerator, will it attract them from the room with the nice rug? Does it work that far?
John: No, it’ll suck them in from about typically three or four rooms.
Adam: Wow. I’m kind of afraid to do that, because then it’s like, if Tina sees, like, “Oh, now we have moths.” She’s bad enough with me putting down mousetraps, because I always catch something.
John: Yeah, well, put it somewhere where she can’t see them. And do it when she’s not around, because it’ll be within—I’m telling you—within five or ten minutes, you’ll start to see moths. They’re all heading to the trap. It’s gross, actually, how many moths all of a sudden show up in your house.
Adam: Another gross tip of the day!
