Professor Killamoth Clothes Moth Traps — 6-Pack Non-Toxic Pheromone Sticky Traps for Closets

Professor Killamoth Clothes Moth Traps are non-toxic, pheromone-baited sticky traps designed to capture male clothes moths and reduce infestations in closets and storage areas.

If you’ve found tiny holes in wool, cashmere, or other natural fibers, these traps offer a targeted way to monitor and reduce the moth population without chemical sprays or mothballs. Each pack contains six ready-to-use triangular glue traps that combine a concentrated pheromone lure with a premium adhesive to catch male clothes moths before they mate, helping lower the number of larvae that damage textiles.

How do these traps actually stop clothes damage?

They don’t kill larvae directly, but they interrupt the moth life cycle by attracting male adult moths with a species-specific pheromone. When males stick to the adhesive pad they can’t mate with females, which reduces the future population and therefore the number of larvae that feed on fabrics.

• Triple-strength pheromone attracts male clothes moths selectively.
• High-tack glue secures trapped moths for visual confirmation.
• Reduction in mating lowers larval emergence and fabric damage.

Where should I place the traps for best results?

Position traps where clothes and natural fibers are stored and where moths tend to avoid light: inside closets, behind dressers, in storage boxes, or under shelves. Use multiple traps spread through the area to improve coverage and monitoring.

• Place 1–2 traps per small closet, more for larger storage spaces.
• Set traps along walls, behind garments, or among folded sweaters.
• Replace traps when adhesive fills or every few months for ongoing protection.

Are these traps safe to use around kids and pets?

Yes — the formula contains no insecticide; the active attraction comes from pheromones embedded in paper and a sticky adhesive pad. Still, keep traps out of reach of curious children and pets to avoid contact with the adhesive.

• Non-toxic, no foggers or chemical sprays required.
• Best stored and placed where children and pets can’t touch them.
• Safe for use near clothing, textiles, and museum materials.

How long will one trap stay effective?

Effectiveness depends on infestation severity and environmental conditions. The built-in pheromone and adhesive are formulated for long-lasting performance, but traps should be inspected regularly and replaced once the glue is crowded with insects or after a few months.

• Typically effective for several weeks to months in normal conditions.
• Replace traps when many moths are captured or adhesive is full.
• Use fresh traps seasonally or after intensive cleanings.

Who is this for: These Professor Killamoth traps suit homeowners, apartment dwellers, collectors, and anyone storing wool, linens, or natural-fiber garments who wants a non-toxic monitoring and control option. They’re also used by professionals and institutions for discreet, odorless protection where pesticides aren’t appropriate. If you’re dealing with pantry moths or food-infesting species, choose a product specifically labeled for those types instead — these traps target clothes moths only.
