Dr. Killigan's Clothing Moth Traps — Black, 20 Pre-Baited Pheromone Sticky Traps for Closets & Wool Protection

Dr. Killigan's Premium Clothing Moth Traps are pre-baited, sticky pheromone traps designed to intercept male clothing moths and break the breeding cycle before your wool, cashmere, fur, or carpets suffer damage.

These ready-to-use traps combine a species-specific pheromone lure with a strong adhesive in an attractive black housing so you can place them openly in closets, storage areas, or under furniture. They target the two most common fabric-munching moths—Tineola bisselliella (webbing clothes moth) and Tinea pellionella (case-bearing clothes moth)—and are formulated for monitoring and prevention rather than for use with pantry or food moth problems.

How do these traps stop clothes moths from multiplying?

The traps use sex pheromones to attract male moths, which become stuck to the adhesive, reducing successful mating and slowing population growth. Because the lure is specific to clothing moth species, the traps are efficient at intercepting the right targets without wasting attractant on non-target insects.

• Pre-baited pheromone in the glue — no extra wafers required
• Targets male webbing and case-bearing clothes moths specifically
• Sticky surface traps moths on contact to prevent breeding
• Placed where moths fly and mate: closets, drawers, under furniture

Where should I put the traps for best protection?

Position traps in dark, undisturbed locations where adult moths are most active: inside closets, near garment storage, under beds, and along baseboards. For larger rooms or long wardrobes, space traps every few feet to create a detection and interception net.

• Hang or set traps in closets near hanging clothes and wool storage
• Use several traps across larger storage areas for even coverage
• Place traps low to the floor and behind furniture where moths travel
• Replace traps according to visible capture or every few months

Are these traps safe to use around fabrics, pets, and people?

Yes — the traps are non-toxic and have the pheromone embedded directly in the adhesive, so there are no sprays, powders, or airborne chemicals. Because they simply capture moths on a sticky surface, they’re a clean option for closets and living spaces when used as directed.

• No pesticides or foggers required — pheromone lure plus adhesive only
• Safe for use near stored textiles when placed properly
• Recommend pairing with manual cleaning or a targeted treatment for active larval infestations
• Not formulated for pantry, food, or gypsy moth control

How easy is setup and what design options are available?

Setup is simple: unfold the trap, remove the peel-off liner, and fold or hang according to the included instructions. Dr. Killigan’s offers two distinct aesthetic designs for its 6-pack option, both carrying the same effective pheromone and adhesive—choose the look that fits your space.

• One-step assembly — open, peel, fold or hang
• Pheromone already mixed into the glue — no extra components
• Attractive black housing for discreet display in closets
• Available in two visual designs for the 6-pack product option

Who is this for? These traps are ideal for homeowners, renters, vintage collectors, and storage managers who want a non-toxic, low-maintenance way to monitor and reduce clothing moth populations before costly textile damage occurs. They’re an excellent preventive tool to use alongside regular cleaning, seasonal inspections, and targeted treatments when larvae are found, but they are not intended as the sole solution for heavy, established infestations that may need professional intervention.
