Dr. Killigan's Pantry Moth Traps with Pheromones — 6-Pack Black, Double-Strength Lure, 3-Month Adhesive

Dr. Killigan's Pantry Moth Traps with Pheromones Prime are sticky, pheromone-baited traps that attract and capture male Indianmeal moths to interrupt breeding and reduce pantry infestations.

Keep kitchens, pantries, and food-storage areas free from pantry moths without sprays or harsh chemicals. These black, ready-to-use traps use a double-strength pheromone stripe to lure male moths onto a long-lasting adhesive surface. Each trap lasts up to three months and is packaged in a six-count box so you can place multiple traps for faster control and ongoing prevention.

How do these traps break the pantry moth breeding cycle?

The traps use a species-specific pheromone to attract male Indianmeal moths, removing them before they can mate. Capturing males reduces successful reproduction, which gradually lowers the number of new larvae and visible moths. For best results, use several traps simultaneously to cover entry points and food-storage zones.

• Double-concentrated ‘Blue Stripe’ pheromone for stronger attraction.
• Sticky adhesive captures males on contact, preventing mating.
• Each trap remains effective up to three months for continuous protection.
• Use multiple traps (recommended triangle placement) to accelerate infestation decline.

Where should I place the traps for maximum effectiveness?

Position traps where pantry moths are most likely to fly and breed: near food containers, along pantry shelves, and at likely entry points such as door frames or vents. Place three traps in a triangular pattern—one inside the pantry and two in the kitchen—to create a protective barrier. Avoid placing traps directly on food or in areas where they might be disturbed.

• One trap inside the pantry among stored dry goods.
• Two traps in kitchen areas near cabinets or ceiling corners.
• Avoid contact with food; mount on shelf back or inside cabinet door.
• Replace traps every three months or when adhesive is full of moths.

Are these traps safe to use around food and pets?

Yes—these traps are non-spray, non-fuming, and designed for indoor use around food when used as directed. They rely on pheromone lure and adhesive rather than insecticides, minimizing exposure to chemicals. Still, keep traps out of reach of children and pets and do not place them directly on food surfaces.

• No airborne chemicals—pheromone is contained within the trap.
• Safe for use in kitchens, pantries, and food-storage rooms when following instructions.
• Place out of reach of children and pets to prevent contact with adhesive.
• Complement with targeted egg/larvae products only if needed (see product guidance).

How many traps do I need and how long will they last?

The six-pack provides enough traps for immediate treatment and ongoing prevention. For a single pantry and surrounding kitchen, use three traps at once (one pantry, two kitchen) and keep the extras for rotation or additional rooms. Each trap maintains effectiveness for up to three months; replace sooner if adhesive is visibly full of captured moths.

• Use three traps at a time for a typical kitchen/pantry setup.
• Six traps per pack cover initial control and follow-up placement.
• Each trap works up to three months under normal indoor conditions.
• Store unused traps until needed to maintain lure potency.
