Clothes Moths: Protect Your Wardrobe with Pheromone Traps

The Real Culprit

Larvae—not adult moths—eat keratin in wool, fur, feathers, cotton. Females lay eggs in fibers; males mate then die.

Pheromone traps lure males with synthetic female scent. They stick to glue pad, cannot mate. No eggs = no larvae = no damage.

Same serious approach protects priceless textiles and your favorite sweater.
