1. Remove the trap from the protective packaging. The pheromone is now active and already attracting moths.
2. Lay the trap down on a horizontal surface, or, using the sticky tape on the back of the trap, fix it to a vertical surface, e.g. inside, or outside a kitchen cupboard. The trap is suitable for use in kitchens, larders, bakeries, restaurants etc.
3. Check the traps weekly. Replace the trap when the sticky surface is covered in moths, or at the latest every 8 weeks.

The 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.
The larvae (the caterpillars) eat products of plant origin, like nuts, dried fruit, almonds, peanuts and cereals, as well as products derived from these foods, such as pet food, muesli, chocolate, dried flower arrangements.
