The most prevalent Clothes Moth in the U.K. is the Tineola Bisselliella. The larvae of such Clothes Moth will damage a variety of garments, particularly those of natural origin, such as natural wool. Carpets are also subject to attack and infestation. Warm, contained settings such as wardrobes, cupboards and airing cupboards also provide an ideal environment for the larvae to develop. The larvae often produce a silk web that is much larger than the larvae itself. Clothes Moth can be active all year round between the temperatures of 15-33℃.
The Clothes Moth larvae cause most damage, as adult male moths are primarily concerned with locating females to mate with. After mating, the female moths will search for suitable egg laying sites. Our Clothes Moth Pheromone Trap offers a safe and natural way to trap and catch the male adult Clothes Moth, preventing them from mating with the females, and reducing the overall Clothes Moth population.
A pheromone lure is placed on the sticky surface inside the trap which gives off a sex pheromone that attracts the male Clothes Moth. The moths are then caught on the sticky surface inside the trap where they soon die. The traps can catch high numbers of Clothes Moths which results in reduced moth mating, egg laying, and infestation levels.
The pheromone lure that Dragonfli supplies will attract and catch the predominant UK Clothes Moth species; the Common Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella).
Our trap is highly effective, insecticide free and releases no odours.
Our traps are very simple to assemble. Firstly,open the foil sachet and remove the pheromone lure. Next, place the lure inside the trap. It does not matter which way round the lure goes. Finally, remove the covering paper from the sticky trap and push the trap together.
Place your trap in areas such as; wardrobes, large drawers, cupboards, or near materials that require protection and have suffered previous damage. If you have natural carpets, these also provide ideal egg laying sites for the Clothes Moth, so you may also wish to place a trap in such an area. The traps can be hung up or placed on a flat surface.
One trap is sufficient for one particular infestation area. To cover larger areas we suggest one trap every 25m2.
Clothes Moths can be active all year round at indoor temperatures, so set up the trap whenever you wish to control your infestation.
To keep the trap active, replace the first pheromone lure after 6 weeks, and use the second lure provided. The trap is supplied with two lures to give it a minimum of 12 weeks catching time.
You can purchase replacement Clothes Moth lures here.
If lures are to be stored and not used upon receipt, you may store them in a fridge or freezer.
Trichogramma are very small parasitic wasps, almost impossible to see with the naked eye. They seek out Clothes Moth eggs and lay their own eggs inside them, parasitising the Clothes Moth eggs. They are harmless to humans and animals and remain only for as long as there are Clothes Moth eggs present.
Combine use of our Trichogramma Sachets and Clothes Moth Traps for total control over your Clothes Moth infestation.
Please do not release the Trichogramma wasps close to the traps. They will not be attracted to the traps but may fly in by accident and get stuck on the glue. Place the sachets away from where you have set up your traps.
I thought I might get more by using multiple lures- I didn’t need to
Impressed by the customer service - the additional lures were missing from the first package but the issue was resolved within 2 days. Increasingly rare excellent customer service. Thank you.
I've been using non-Dragonfli moth traps for some months, replacing them as needed, and while they had been catching quite a few moths, my moth issue has been continuing to cause problems. I wasn't able to purchase the dragonfli parasitic wasps yet due to another chemical product I had used that needed more time to lose it's toxicity, but it was suggested I buy a trap in the meantime. Over the space of a week or two it had caught more moths than my other traps put together! My flat has a natural fibre carpet throughout (put in by the previous owners), and each room takes you directly to the next with no corridors/hall space, so the moths have been everywhere! I'd put this trap in the room I thought was least affected (but close enough to also lure moths from the adjoining living room), and was really impressed! I've been trying so many options, and it really feels like I'm finally getting somewhere. I will be purchasing the parasitic wasp eggs soon too, just to help keep on top of things, and while I'm still catching moths most days, it does seem fewer than before. To put into context, I'm currently catching 1-3 per day. It has been 5-10 per day or more previously! Would definitely recommend to anyone trying to overcome their moth infestation, I would never have imagined they would be so difficult to control!
I purchased a clothes moth pheromone lure as part of a big bundle.
It has caught 5 little moths so far, which is amazing because I suspected I had moths in my cupboard, but hadn't seen any.
I’ve only given it 4 stars, because I would prefer a trap which keeps them alive, where I can let them out somewhere away from the house. I dislike the thought of them stuck to the trap, starving to death!
If you have a trap that is kinder to these little insects, I'd like to know about it, please.
Been using the lures and the wasps for a couple of months now and haven’t seen a moth for quite a few weeks. Recommend
