Used for the control of Common Clothes Moth
Entopest Common Clothes Moth Trap
Pheromone moth pads are a popular device to locate, monitor and control emerging Common Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella) infestations. The pheromone has been chemically reproduced to a very high standard to attract the male moth species to land on the adhesive pad. By attracting male moths, you reduce the likelihood of reproduction and prevent or quicken any control treatment.
Pheromone pads measure 133mm x 60mm and are designed to be used within our plastic moth hangers.
Entopest have a range of kits include hangers and pheromone pads for attracting active male moths (please see title for qty included within the kit listing). We also sell both the hangers and pads individually if you require replacement refills.
Moth pheromone has not been designed as the sole control solution. We recommend that they be used in combination with other insecticide treatments, especially within larger and established infestations. Entopest pheromone traps should be considered the first method of control as users can quickly identify active locations; users can then concentrate treatments within these areas.
Entopest pheromone pads are used by both professional and amateur users.
This pheromone pad will attract the male Common Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella) only. Please do not purchase to control other moths as the pheromone will not work.
Please see the below photos for identification if you are unsure about your moth species.
Moth Pheromone Control
Used for the control of Common Clothes Moth
Tineola bisselliella sex pheromones are released by the female moth to attract the male for reproduction. The Entopest pheromone has been carefully artificially reproduced and impregnated over the entire surface of the pads.
When placed within an active infestation, the pads will attract the active males and prevent reproduction.
Pheromone pads should not be considered the sole treatment method. For established infestations, use the pads in combination with our insecticide kits.

ID Service
Entopest pheromone pads will only catch the Common Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella). The pads have partial success with some other moth species, including the Carpet Moth (Tinea pellionella) and Pale-Backed Clothes Moth (Monopis crocicapitella). They will not work with any other moth species.
If you are unsure what moth you have, Entopest offers an identification service.
Please note that Entopest pheromone is specific to only 1 type of moth
Common Clothes Moth

They are generally only active within February and September.
The pheromone will control the male moth.
Case-bearing Clothes Moth
Tinea pellionella
Also known as the carpet moth this moth is an indirect relative to the Common Clothes Moth. The moth has a similar pheromone structure but it is not the same.
Most customers will record activity however its unlikely that these will be in significant numbers.

They are generally only active within June to October.
The pheromone may not control this moth.
Pale Backed Clothes Moth
Monopis crocicapitella
This ‘new’ species of clothes moth is not a relative of the common clothes moth however it does seem to be attracted to the pheromone pads within limited numbers.
The moth is clearly identified by the pale stripe on the top of the wing.
The wingspan is approx 9-16mm
They are generally only active within February and September.
The pheromone may not control this moth.
All Other Moth Varients
Species not shown
With over 3000 micro moths within the UK we cant list every variant.
Its important to note that if you have not got any of the 3 moths opposite its very unlikely that this moth trap will work for you.
