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 purchased these traps even though I was informed that they are not attractive to case bearing carpet moths. This was to check whether we had clothes moths as well. Luckily nothing caught after 4 weeks, but adult moths were seen flying in the area. I also purchased the wasps and after 8 weeks have seen a reduction in the number of lava cases found round the carpet edges after dark. This did involve crawling round the floor, torch in hand!! Pity the traps don't work for these moths as well though.
Several weeks in and no moth has gone near them. There are plenty of moths about, and they’re having the time of their lives.
We've used these in conjunction with the mini wasps. You can tell the difference in the rooms that they have not been used in by the continued presence of the flying pests! Buying more to treat the rest of the house.
I walked into the room carrying this and literally had to duck out of the way due to the number of moths appearing from nowhere! Not sure if that is other people's experience, but it was definitely mine and is no exaggeration! I placed it and replenished it according to the instructions, and can confirm it's efficacy. I'm so happy with it, that I am buying another for another room. I would add, that I have also been hoovering up moths - pretty much on a daily basis - that are not attracted to the trap (females, I imagine), so it does need a double pronged approach, as this trap only traps the males. At least that's my understanding.
Bought lures from a few different brands and Dragonfli is the only one that’s worked
