I tried the SMARTrap traps in my vegetable garden this year. I rigged
two traps and got very little response. I guess I caught three moths in
one and none in the other. I was not impressed. I assume I have more
than three night flying moths in my veggie patch. At the same time, now
that I think about it, I had no caterpillar damage; just slugs and
grasshoppers. Maybe it does work and I live in low rent district for
moths.

I've had the same experience with SMARTraps in my veggie garden. But, I did have corn damage, something one of the traps was supposed to eliminate.
