This lure is for male Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella) and is designed to work in room sized areas. In order to capture moths, bullet lures need to be placed onto a sticky trap. The lure can be placed on any trap that does not have an integrated attractant e.g. Black Floor Trap, Clearview Trap, Museum Trap or the Black & White Striped Delta Trap. These are available in our TRAP product section.
Case-bearing Clothes Moth are good at flying and so traps should be placed at a range of heights to aid trapping. Inspect traps regularly and change the lure every 3 months (12 weeks). Change the trap if the glue surface has become inactive due to dust and debris.
The moth is called Case-bearing as the larva or caterpillar develops within a tube that it spins around itself from the materials it feeds on. As such the colour of the case can vary depending on the colour of the food source. When fully grown the larva pupates within the cocoon and eventually the adult moth emerges to mate and lay eggs. Empty or ‘discarded’ cases can still be found after the adult has flown indicating its previous presence.
One generation, from egg to adult, normally takes a year to develop with the adults flying in the summer months. However, in heated buildings, two to three generations can develop in a single year. Development is delayed by temperatures below 12°C. They can, however, survive in low relative humidity.
