Mottlock Moth Box for Food Moths - Insecticide-Free Pheromone Trap for Early Detection and Infestation Monitoring
The Mottlock Moth Box is used for the targeted detection and early recognition of food moths (like dried fruit, flour, or stored product moths) in kitchens, pantries, and storage rooms. The specific sex attractant (pheromone) is directly integrated into the sticky surface. It attracts male food moths, which get stuck on the sticky pad. By counting the trapped insects, the severity of an infestation can be accurately assessed.
Note: Pheromone traps are only for early detection and monitoring of infestations and are not a standalone control method.
Your Benefits
Insecticide-free and odorless: Works purely physically using the sex pheromone integrated into the special adhesive.
Long-lasting detection: Provides reliable trapping action for up to 12 weeks after removing the protective film.
Targeted location control: Essential for monitoring stored stocks and checking results after biological reduction (e.g., with parasitic wasps).
Content and Product Details
Contents: 1 pack with 1 pheromon sticky board (including integrated lure)
How it works: Insecticide-free sticky trap with pheromones (monitoring)

Usage and Placement
Quickly peel off the protective film from the pheromone sticky base.
Fold the trap according to the instructions and place or hang it near vulnerable food supplies.
Tip for placement: Avoid drafts, as strong airflows can affect the distribution of pheromones.
Check the trap regularly. If more moths are caught, it’s recommended to take appropriate measures to reduce the infestation (e.g., parasitic wasps from the Mottcontrol series).
Safety and Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children and pets. In case of accidental skin contact with the glue, gently clean the affected area with cooking oil, and then wash with water and soap.
