This ready-to-use Pheromoth Trap is designed to attract and trap adults of the main species of clothes moth present in the UK, the Common (or Webbing) Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella), for monitoring purposes.
The trap can either be hung or placed in position and has a sticky strip for attaching to surfaces, if required.
To use peel off the cover paper to reveal the sticky surface and pheromone dispensing patch. Fold and assemble into a tent shape and place in the area of moth activity.
Change the trap every 3 months or sooner, if the glue surface has captured a lot of insects or has become inactive due to dust. Store unused traps in a cool dark place until needed. Traps have a shelf life of 2 years, provided they are stored in a cool location out of direct sunlight.
As Webbing Clothes Moth are poor fliers, locate traps at a low level, such as on the floor or close to wardrobes, cupboards, shelves etc.
Size: 13cm x 11cm floor area x 8.5cm tall when formed
Size: 13cm x 31.6cm as supplied flat
The moth larvae can digest the animal protein keratin that is found in hair, wool, fur and feathers and so can cause serious damage to textiles, upholstery, natural history specimens, ethnographical objects etc. Infestations can start from adults flying in through open doors and windows, from birds’ nests or from infested objects being brought in. The adults shun the light, hiding in dark undisturbed areas and lay eggs on suitable food sources such as carpets, clothing, taxidermy etc.
As clothes moths are poor fliers, locate traps at a low level, such as on the floor or close to wardrobes, cupboards, shelves etc.
Webbing Clothes Moth have a short life-cycle, although they may be seen flying in heated properties throughout the year due to overlapping populations. There are many different products and techniques to manage clothes moth problems. See our guide: How to Manage Clothes Moths.
