The Natural Control food moth trap is used for early detection of infestations of dried fruit, flour, storage and other food moths (Plodia and Ephestia). The trap is ready baited with sexually alluring pheromones, which attract male moths into the trap where they stick to the adhesive inner surfaces and die.
After activation of the trap, the bait will last for 8 weeks.
No. The trap is pesticide-free and does not contain any chemical substances that are a hazard to humans or animals.
In the event of an infestation, thoroughly check all foods and food storage places in the vicinity (cupboards and shelves) for larvae and pupae. Discard any contaminated food and clean the cupboards and shelves thoroughly. It is recommended that all susceptible foods are stored in hermetically-sealed containers.
Not suitable are containers with loose lids, cookie jars, bags of all kinds, boxes and jars with cork stoppers
The food moths are butterflies and behave as pests of stored products. The adult moths are not harmful and do not consume food during their short 1-2 week life. The actual pests that cause the damage are the larvae (the caterpillars)
