Aries Mottlock Moth Box (each)

The Mottlock Moth Trap consists of a box with an optional hanger, a piece of sticky card with integrated pheromones, and full instructions. Simply peel the cover off a single sticky strip down the back to hold it in place in the box, and peel the protective layer off the front of the sticky card. Carefully, holding onto the non-sticky corner, insert it into the box and you’re ready to trap moths. You can slide the hanger piece through the top and hang it in a wardrobe, or hang it discreetly in a room, or even slide it under the sofa to attract moths that might be thinking of homing in on your wool rugs.

Each trap will be detected within a space of around 70 cubic metres. This is equivalent to one generously proportioned room or two smallish ones. It’s a good idea to have several traps distributed around the home. Remember, the moth trap will only kill the male moths, and it’s the females laden with eggs that are going to drop a load somewhere where they can hatch into larvae and eat holes in your wool, silk, feathers and fur. The pheromone trap is part of a repertoire of products to manage moths in the home. The trick with this trap is to catch the male moths before they get the opportunity to mate, thus breaking the breeding cycle.
