Product Information

MothPrevention® speak to customers every day about their clothes moth issues - clothes moths are a species that are ever increasing and that can cause significant damage to clothes, carpets and other home textiles. If you already have damage to clothes or carpets from clothes moths then clothes moth traps are likely only part of the solution - you may need a killer kit for moths and need to do some work to completely get rid of clothes moths in your closet or carpets.

Note that, unlike many species of moths, clothes and carpet moths are nocturnal and avoid bright light - they are more likely to be active at night time and when you are sleeping. Clothes moths only live for about a month - many customers do not realize that it's the moth larvae that hatch from their eggs that do the damage to precious home textiles and investment pieces. The adult flying moths do not even have mouths to feed - their sole purpose in their short life is to reproduce and lay eggs to carry on the life cycle. So, to answer the question ‘how long do clothes moths live?’, only a few weeks in adult form. What do moths hate? Pantry moths, which love to feed on stored foods, are usually one or more of the following: Indian Meal Moths, Mediterranean Pantry Moths, White Shouldered House Moths, or Brown House Moths. If you're dealing with a pantry moth infestation, we recommend using Dr. Killigan's Premium Pantry Moth Traps.It might be due to the stage of the moth life cycle where some larvae are still pupating. If the conditions are warm indoors (which is often the case in winter when the heating is on) this can affect the cycle.

If you find you are not catching any or many moths, after a week, try re-positioning the wool moth traps - this often then gives results for many of our customers, and remember that the placement needs to be near likely food sources for clothes moth larvae (keratin in natural animal fibres, most commonly wool-based). This article was written by Amanda Rose Newton, a freelance writer for The Spruce. As an entomologist, she is always on the lookout for effective, safe, and easy-to-use insecticides to recommend to friends and family. To prepare this roundup, Amanda Rose tested each product for ease of use, functionality, and accuracy. If the glue board fills up with moths in one or two weeks than the moth trap alone will not be enough; remember that it only removes the male moths from the population. A female moth can lay up to 300 eggs in her lifetime and the more moths about means that the chances of a female finding a male to mate with before it gets caught in a moth trap are higher. If this happens then you will need to take further action by carrying out a full deep clean, treating the wardrobe and/or room with a killer spray such as our Chrysanthemum Moth Spray and deploying the Moth Decoy. HOW TO USE A MOTH TRAP WITH THE MOTH DECOY Clothes moths may arrive in your home from adjacent properties or gardens. We have also seen instances of bird nests under roof eaves and in chimneys being sources of infestation for our customers - think bird feathers as being a keratin-rich food source for clothes moth larvae. The key to eradicating these pests and preventing them from entering your photo collection, bookcases, and wallpaper is to maintain humidity levels at a low level. There must be plenty of ventilation in the area where paper is stored, as well as dry conditions with no condensation.The MothPrevention® Clothes Moth Trap lures adult moths using powerful moth pheromones and then traps them. This powerful clothes moth trap provides an effective, economical and convenient natural moth control solution to prevent moths damaging your clothing, furniture and precious textiles. Positioning of the Traps is important. They need to be 3-6 feet above carpet level. If you have any other moth deterrents placed nearby they can distract from the Traps. Last year I noticed the moths around the house and I suddenly realized that they must have been in through the carpet. And then I looked through the clothes and there was moth damage everywhere. So we knew we had a really big problem. Initially, when I was looking for a solution to all of this, I looked online and I did speak to a couple of different companies and the advice that I was given was so ranging. But, generally people were saying that what I needed to do was so extreme that I had to get rid of all my carpets, that I needed to get rid of a lot of my clothing, you know, a lot of extreme measures. And it felt quite overwhelming, to be honest. The best clothes moth trap is designed to allow easy access for adult male moths and yet provides a darker ‘safe’ place for clothes moths, which hate light and being disturbed. Design is also important to customers - a discrete design with a flatter profile doesn’t advertise the presence of moths to guests and hangs more easily in the closet. The glue is important to ensure effective trapping. Lastly, and importantly, the best clothes moth trap has the most effective pheromone to attract the male moths - the cheap Chinese imitations absolutely fail on this critical aspect and that is why we have our pheromones specially engineered in Germany by scientists who really understand this deeply technical area (exclusive to MothPrevention). It's also why our moth traps are not cheap! But they work. Period. How long do clothes moths live?

At Easyframe we are in the business of providing picture frames to capture your mood and presenting them in a way that can be enjoyed. 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. Amothhole is a carefully clean hole that has been eaten very neatly.' Why am I getting lots of moths in my house? The fact that these pests can't climb very well is the only thing that makes them easier to combat. As a result, you will see the damage on your wallpaper only above the skirting boards, but not along the tops of walls or near your picture frames unless you're leaning them against the wall. There are various book lice killer kits available from a variety of merchants, and pest control companies online that will charge you a pretty penny to fumigate the places where these pests dwell. Depending on the severity of an infestation, experts may be required.

Like bed bugs, the most common way moths enter the home is by carrying infected items into the house. Food that was not sealed correctly, brought from storage, or clothing from an estate sale can all be culprits. Once taking up residence, unsealed food containers or old clothing in a closet are open invitations to moths.

You have been diligent in protecting your wardrobe from moths, but unfortunately that's not the only place they can infest. The winged creatures often lay their eggs in carpets, preferably in areas where the larvae can hatch and feed undisturbed; such as on keratin in the wool. If you have silverfish on the wall, consider where you're hanging your frames. Since most frames are hung at eye level, frames positioned higher above the ground are out of reach of silverfish. But if they're sitting at floor level leaning against the wall, think again about where you're putting your pictures. Our Traps attract the active adult male moths and will help break the breeding cycle. Depending on the stage in the moth life cycle It might be that the that the males have not yet hatched. The Traps are active for 12 weeks after opening. 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. The clothes moth larvae eat clothes that are made from animal based fibres - think cashmere, wool, silk, feathers, fur and soft leather. How to get rid of moths naturally? In the unusual event where delivery is repeatedly refused or no effort is made to accept delivery, we reserve the right to pass delivery and return courier costs to the customer.This is unlikely - only mature males are likely to find any attraction in the female clothes moth pheromones and the effective range is not likely to bring them into the home form an adjacent property or the garden. Storage jars are great for keeping foods fresher for longer,' says Sophie from Green Protect. 'However, a variety of insects and bugs such as weevil and flour moths can still find their way into them. One way to prevent this is to ensure that new products are not poured on top of old as this can cause insect pest infestation.' If you have moth damage to clothing in your closets and / or drawers, it is highly likely that clothes moths have laid eggs and reached the larval stage where the larvae eat the keratin in the natural fibres of woollens, cashmere, silk etc.
