Fabric Insect Trap

The most effective pheromone based Fabric Insect Trap in the world. The trap is used to monitor environments which have products made from natural fibres, for example precious textile and costume collections. This trap is unique as you can monitor a whole host of target insects including moths and beetles with a single type of trap; webbing clothes moth, the varied carpet beetle, the case bearing clothes moth, the black carpet beetle and the clothes moth.

Once activated, the trap works by releasing pheromones – airborne molecules that trigger a certain response in the insects – to attract the male before it has a chance to mate with the female. These pheromones are released at a steady rate across a period of 6-8 weeks. Male moths enter by keyholes on the upper surface, while beetle species crawl up the rough surface of the trap which replicates the crack-like harbourages they favour.
One trap required per room or approx 8-10 metres apart.
