Faicuk Clothes Moth Traps with Pheromone for Closet and Carpet (6 Pack)

The adult clothes moth has a body length of 5-7mm and a wing width of 13-15mm. The larvae are milky white and 8-9mm long, and the species can produce around 4 generations per year. The clothes moth larva is a small white caterpillar that hides in a silky bag or net, known as a tube nest. The adult moth has bright golden scales on its body, a golden-red head, and darker antennae compared to the rest of its body. The female moth is slightly larger than the male.

During mating, the adult female moth can survive for 3-4 weeks and lay 35-50 eggs on the surface of clothing. The eggs are white, soft, and round, and they hatch into larvae within 5 days. The larvae feed on wool, hair, fur, and feathers, and can slowly move around and potentially damage textiles or endanger animal specimens in libraries or museums. However, the adult moths do not feed.

The larvae can spin silk to make cocoons and store wool, upholstered furniture, fur, carpet, blankets, fish meal, chemical fiber wool, and cotton-blended fabrics for the larvae to eat. The larvae are mostly found in clothes storage rooms and the seams of upholstered furniture. The adult moths have a very weak body and do not fly far, which limits their range of activity. They are particularly attracted to textiles stained with food or other pollutants, and can be found in areas such as collars or clothing folds. Cotton clothes are less vulnerable to clothes moth damage.

Because of the small size of the larvae and their non-biting nature, clothes moths can be difficult to detect in the early stages. However, the male adult moth is attracted to the female moth's sex pheromone. Synthetic pheromones can be used to create traps that catch the male moths, reducing the chances of the female moths being fertilized and, consequently, reducing the overall population density of the moths.

Various types of traps are available, including clear window fly traps, dual sticky fly traps for houseplant insects, yellow dual-sided sticky fly traps, dual-sided plant sticky traps, dual-sided gnats sticky traps, and clothing moth traps with pheromone attractants. These traps vary in their waterproof capabilities, indoor and outdoor suitability, and target pests.
