Description
Clothes moths themselves do not eat; it is their larvae that have emerged from the eggs laid by adult, mated, female clothes moths that eat the protein (keratin) in animal based fibres - they will generally not be attracted to cotton or synthetic fibres. If you can't tell if a hole is moth created or not Julia explains: 'Wear holes normally have a slight pull, where they have been caught or look a bit thread bear around the hole, if it was on the elbow or under the arm. There are no insecticides at work here - our traps are completely non-toxic, natural and safe for you, your family and your home. So clothes moth traps are best used in warmer weather (normally 65 degrees or more) but there may still be the need to use treatments where larvae are still causing damage outside warmer times.
When it comes to the washing machine setting if you're clothes can take it clean them on a high heat above 50 degrees. Assuming you have identified the moths as clothes moths (one of the species referred to above and shown in our identification guides) then start straight away by placing clothes moth pheromone traps. It is important to remember that this product will not kill existing moths and is more useful as a preventative tool. The small balls contain paradichlorobenzene, which slowly releases a gas that kills moths and their eggs and larvae over time.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. As you have mentioned, it might be due to the stage in the moth life cycle which means that you are seeing more females and juveniles, but when the males mature and are sexually active they will be attracted to the powerful female pheromones on the sticky strips. This product's nice cedar aroma and three-month lifespan are major selling points as an alternative to moss balls, which often leave a lingering scent. With our guidance, you will deal with your moth infestation, protect your valuable clothing and home textiles, and take away the stress of dealing with these pests.
Clothes and kitchen moths aren't able to travel very far so are unlikely to come in through the window. If you have Carpet Moths, please note that it will be the same species of moth attacking your carpets rather than the clothes in your closet.
Each strip treats up to one cubic metre, which is approximately the internal size of a single wardrobe, use two strips (ie: one pack) for a double wardrobe. It will also alert you to the source or sources of infestation and guide you as to where you should be doing further investigations and deep cleans. The outer packaging is also date-stamped with an expiry date - usually 18 to 24 months after you will have received it. It’s the moth larvae that causes the damage to cellulose-based textiles, and by killing adult clothes moths, our Moth Hanger interrupts the breeding cycle and protects clothes for up to three months.
Meanwhile, I'm laundering, cleaning, and living out of storage and plastic bags, and using essential oils in the hope of one day eradicating the problem. Moths love to eat paper and fabric, and they can quickly destroy clothing, carpets, and photo collections. The sunny warm weather has arrived, and it's the ideal time for those creepy crawly creatures to venture into our homes. If you have paper eating insects in your home, they may be damaging your photo collections, including those that are in frames. However, if you can’t find the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to Contact Us, we are happy to help.If you are not currently catching moths it could be that the moths you are seeing are not a type that are attracted to our Traps.
