Faicuk Moth Traps with Pheromone Attractant (6 Pack)

Product Description on Clothes Moths in Your Home:

The clothes moth, also known as Tineola bisselliella, is a common household pest that can cause damage to textiles and fabrics. Adult clothes moths have a body length of 5-7mm and a wing width of 13-15mm, while their larvae are milky white and 8-9mm long. The adults have bright golden scales on their bodies, with a golden red head and dark antennae. Female moths are slightly larger than males and can lay 35-50 eggs on clothing surfaces during mating. These eggs are white, soft, and round, hatching into larvae within 5 days.

The larvae of clothes moths feed on materials such as wool, fur, feathers, and hair, causing damage to textiles and even endangering animal specimens in libraries and museums. They can create cocoons made of silk and consume a variety of materials including wool, upholstered furniture, carpet, and more. Larvae are typically found in clothes storage areas and upholstered furniture seams, with a preference for textiles stained with food or pollution.

Clothes moth traps work by utilizing the male adult moth's tendency to mate with the female under the influence of her sex pheromone. By synthesizing the female pheromone artificially, male moths can be caught using sticky moth paper, aiding in the early detection of infestations. This method also reduces the fertilization probability of female moths, helping to decrease overall moth populations.

It is important to note that these traps are designed to capture adult moths and not the larvae responsible for damage. If a significant number of male moths are caught, additional control measures may be necessary to address the infestation effectively. Consider using products such as the Lure Pheromone Sticky Fly Traps, which are designed to attract and capture adult moths without harming humans. These traps can protect your clothing and furnishings from costly moth damage by preventing the fertilization of female moths and subsequent egg-laying. Simply hang the traps on a closet rail or place them on a shelf to safeguard your valuables.

In conclusion, understanding the behavior of clothes moths and implementing effective traps can help protect your home from these destructive pests. Stay proactive in monitoring and controlling clothes moth populations to safeguard your belongings and prevent costly damage.
