Clothing moths are seldom seen because they avoid light. They prefer dark, undisturbed areas such as closets, basements, and attics. The common identifiers for clothing moths in your home include irregular holes in natural fiber clothing, silken larvae tubes or patches of webbing on clothing, or white eggs that are just visible to the naked eye.

To rid your home of clothes moths, use Dr. Killigan's Premium Clothing Moth Traps. These traps are designed to attract and capture adult male moths, interrupting the breeding cycle and eliminating the moth population in your home. Here's how to use them for optimal results:

Identify infested areas: Begin by determining where in your home the moths are most active. Clothes moths often target areas where natural fibers are stored, such as closets, wardrobes and drawers.

Place traps strategically: Install Dr. Killigan's Premium Clothing Moth Traps near these identified areas. The traps contain a powerful pheromone attractant that lures male moths, trapping them on a sticky surface inside the trap.

Monitor and replace: Keep an eye on the traps and replace them as needed, typically every 3 months or sooner if they become full. This will help you gauge the level of your moth infestation and the effectiveness of your efforts.

Supplement with cleaning: While the traps work to capture adult moths, enhance your control efforts by thoroughly cleaning and vacuuming the affected areas. Launder or dry clean infested clothing, and consider freezing items that cannot be washed to kill any larvae or eggs.

Prevent future infestations: After addressing the current infestation, take preventative measures to avoid future issues. use natural deterrents like Dr. Killigan’s Cedar Planks Clothes Moth Repellent, store susceptible items in airtight containers and regularly clean storage areas.

*when used as directed

Clothes moths don't actually eat clothes; it's their larvae that do, feeding on animal fibers like wool, silk and fur. This is because these materials contain keratin, a protein the larvae need to grow. Synthetic fibers and cotton are less likely to be targeted unless they're mixed with animal fibers or are dirty. Moth larvae prefer dark, undisturbed areas to feed, making stored or rarely used items more susceptible to damage.
