Entopest moth pheromone has been designed specifically for the control of Tineola bisselliella (Common Clothes Moth aka Webbing Moth) only. It will not work with other species of moth.

The Entopest Moth Pheromone Trap emits an artificial moth sex pheromone (lure) to attract male moths to the non-escapable sticky board. Attracting male moths helps to break the lifecycle and subsequently helps to control established infestations. The traps can also be used as a proactive method to catch male moths before they establish or as an indicator for any infestations that may be established in the property.

Once the traps have been set-up, they should be placed directly in the main infestation area. The hanger has been designed to be versatile. It can either be hung directly onto a clothes rail or doorknob, placed in confined areas (helped by its low-profile design) or attached directly to walls using the integrated nail hole.

It is important to note that The Entopest Moth pheromone is particular to Tineola bisselliella. The lure is partially attractive to some other closely related species including Tinea pellionella (Case-Bearing Clothes Moth) and Monopis crocicapitella (Pale-Backed Clothes Moth). However, capture with these species is not guaranteed.

The pheromone glue pads contain a slow-release pheromone attractant which is impregnated into the glue; no additional attractant tablets are needed. Once the sticky pad peel has been removed, the pads will last for approximately 8-12 weeks, but this can be reduced in dusty environments. It is important to check the traps regularly to ensure they remain sticky.

Pheromone traps should not be considered the sole method of control, especially in large infestations. Other treatment methods to compliment trapping should be undertaken including insecticidal smoke, power and sprays, preferably to areas of activity. Pheromone traps should be considered an important factor in locating active sources.
