The common clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) is a highly prevalent moth that can be found throughout the UK in both domestic and commercial environments. Typically associated with clothing, the moth’s larvae can cause considerable damage to textiles such as fabric and fur and other natural materials; for this reason the moth is a common pest found in homes and control should be undertaken when identified to prevent further damage.
As this is a well-documented and established pest, we can offer a specific Entopest pheromone that can be used as an essential aid in the treatment of moths as it can be used for both location finding and treatment monitoring and an early warning for any emerging infestations. This is a crucial and recommended device and should be considered as the first step in moth control; this is a common product used by professionals before undertaking a larger and extensive treatment plan.
Whilst a pheromone is available, it does not mean that these moths can be easily controlled using this device alone; eco-systems deep within confined locations can allow small numbers of moths to go undetected so we recommend that any treatment is carried out in full and in great detail, using a combination of preparation, cleaning and targeted control method. Entopest has a range of kits that allow users to bulk buy products or if preferred individual segments for more minor treatments.
