Not All Moth Traps Are Made for the Moths in Your Closet

Pantry moths and clothes moths are different pests. A trap designed for food moths will not reliably solve a clothing moth problem. Protecting garments requires an attractant developed specifically for the moth species that live around natural fibers.

An effective clothing moth trap should do three things well:

1

Attract the Right Species

Target webbing clothes moths and casemaking clothes moths rather than pantry moths.

2

Capture Adult Males

Use a species-specific pheromone attractant and a strong glue surface to prevent captured moths from escaping.

3

Fit Discreetly into Your Closet

Work inside closets, wardrobes and storage spaces without sprays or complicated equipment.

Dr. Killigan’s Clothing Moth Traps were created for this exact job: attracting adult male clothes moths, capturing them and helping interrupt the reproductive cycle before another generation develops.

HOW TO COMPARE CLOTHING MOTH TRAPS BEFORE YOU BUY

What Makes a Clothing Moth Trap “Best”?

How to compare clothing moth traps before you buy

1

Species-Specific Attraction

Dr. Killigan’s targets the Webbing Clothes Moth, Tineola bisselliella, and the Casemaking Clothes Moth, Tinea pellionella. Pantry moth traps use different attractants.

2

Double-Potent Blue Stripe Formula

The proprietary Blue Stripe Formula contains a highly concentrated pheromone attractant and delivers up to twice the capture rate.

3

Strong Glue Capture

Attraction only works when moths remain trapped. The integrated sticky surface captures adult male moths once they enter.

4

Calibrated Vent Lines

Precisely positioned vent lines improve airflow and help distribute the pheromone attractant throughout the surrounding space.

5

Designed for the Home

The traps are discreet, available in black or white and safe when used as directed for people, pets and the planet. Every purchase is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Simple to Use. Powerful Where It Matters.

1

Find the Problem Areas

Look for adult moths, larvae, webbing or fabric damage near wool, silk, fur, feathers, rugs and rarely disturbed garments.

2

Open and Prepare the Traps

Remove the protective layer and assemble each trap according to the instructions included with the product.

3

Place Two Traps per Closet

Position one trap high and one low inside the closet, wardrobe or affected storage area.

4

Monitor and Replace

Check the traps regularly. Replace them every three months or sooner if the glue surface becomes full.

Traps Are One Part of Clothing Moth Control

Clothing moth traps attract adult males. They do not remove existing eggs or larvae from garments. During an active infestation, also vacuum affected areas and wash, dry-clean or freeze suitable items according to their care instructions. Allow at least 25 days before judging trap performance.

See It in Action

Watch how it works, what to do, and what to expect.

Strong Enough for Moths. Discreet Enough for Your Closet.

Your wardrobe may contain more than everyday clothing. It can hold tailored suits, wool sweaters, silk scarves, heirlooms and pieces that cannot simply be replaced.

Clothing moth larvae feed on keratin found in animal-based fibers such as wool, silk, fur and feathers. Dr. Killigan’s traps target adult male moths and help interrupt the breeding cycle before another generation develops.

No spray application. No complicated equipment. Just a discreet trap designed for the spaces where clothing moths hide and breed.

Works better than anything else I've tried.

I had tried another brand I got at Home Depot with limited results. With your traps, I immediately saw a huge increase of moths in the traps. I keep seeing fewer each day in the air and suspect they will soon all be eradicated.
