Web-spinning moths, case-bearing moths and other clothes moths can cause significant destruction to valuable items in your home, and threaten your Peace and Sanity. As the larvae of clothing moths feed on natural fibers in wool, silk, fur, leather and other keratin-rich fabrics, a clothing moth infestation can completely ruin your most cherished garments.

The secret sauce in Dr. Killigan’s Premium Clothing Moth Traps

Pheromones are very fragile. Their integration requires a proprietary process that relies on a precise temperature that carefully combines our specialized glue and pheromones, thus preserving the integrity of each ingredient. The result is a highly effective attractant that stops clothing moths in their tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clothes moths, particularly the webbing clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) and the casemaking clothes moth (Tinea pellionella), are known for their distinctive appearances, which can help in identifying infestations.

Webbing clothes moth: Adult webbing clothes moths are characterized by their uniform buff color and have a small tuft of reddish hairs on top of their heads. They are generally about 7 mm long. The larvae are creamy-white caterpillars up to 1/2-inch long, which may spin silken tubes or patches of webbing as they move about on the surface of infested materials​​.

Casemaking clothes moth: These moths are similar in appearance to the webbing clothes moth but have dark specks on their wings. Their larvae are known for enclosing themselves in a portable, open-ended tubular case, dragging it wherever they go. This case is made from silk and fibers from the materials they have fed on​​.

Clothes moths are often confused with pantry moths and other food moths. To get rid of pantry moths, use Dr. Killigan’s Premium Pantry Moth Traps.

*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.

Moth larvae appear as small, creamy-white caterpillars, roughly 1/2-inch long, with a darker head. They may not always be visible, but their presence is often indicated by silken tubes or patches, and threadbare spots or holes on the fabric. Additionally, tiny fecal pellets and the larvae's silk cases can also signal their presence.

To repel clothes moths effectively, use Dr. Killigan's Cedar Planks Clothes Moth Repellent. These cedar planks offer a natural solution, leveraging the inherent repellent properties of cedar to keep moths away from your clothes and textiles. Ideal for closets, drawers or storage boxes, they provide a simple and eco-friendly way to protect your garments from moth damage.

If you've accidentally touched the glue on a moth trap, don't worry, there's a straightforward method to remove it. First, avoid rubbing the area to prevent spreading the glue. The key ingredient for removal is vegetable oil. Apply it generously to the affected skin and gently massage it in. The oil helps dissolve the adhesive. After a few minutes, use a warm, soapy cloth to wipe off the oil and glue, then rinse with warm water. You might need to repeat this process for complete removal. Be patient and gentle with your skin throughout the process. For future use, try to handle the traps by their edges to minimize direct contact with the adhesive.
