If you have damage to clothing then you will likely have an infestation where the clothes moths have laid their eggs, the eggs have hatched and the emerging larvae are feasting on your investment pieces and / or precious home textiles. We strongly recommend that after you have dealt with the worst of a clothes moth infestation, you leave clothes moth traps in place for 8-12 weeks afterwards - this will both enable you to check regularly if there is any risk of repeat infestation and, importantly, provide the first line of defence in a new infestation spiralling out of control.Ann Cleeves is a skillful technician, keeping our interest alive and building slowly up to the denouement. Take out clothing and check for damage in the form of holes in woollens, cashmere, merino, silk etc - natural animal based fibres.

If only males did come into the home, they cannot breed alone; female clothes moths coming in to the home are likely looking for a suitable food source (natural animal-fibre based textiles) to lay their eggs. The replaceable strip slides into the box and attaches to one side using a ‘low-tack’ thin sticky strip. For this method to work, you will need a moth to be actively fluttering around and trying to access areas where bright lights are shining. In fact, as soon as you shut off the light that the moth is trying to fly toward, it will usually immediately try to find the next nearby light source. Thank you for your 5 star review on our Clothes and Carpet Moth Traps and we are delighted to read that these are working for you.

The easiest way to catch adult moths is by using Moth Traps which attract the active adult male moths by using powerful female pheromones on the sticky strip surface. There are two main species of common clothes moths - the webbing clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) and the case-making clothes moth (Tinea pellionella). These moths are usually harmless and can be lured out of the house by turning off all of the lights except for one bright light source outdoors. You may also want to freeze any clothes or fabrics for at least 72 hours to kill hidden eggs or larvae.
