Dr. Killigan's Pantry Moth Traps with Pheromones — 20-Pack Black, Double-Potent Adhesive for Pantries

Dr. Killigan's Pantry Moth Traps with Pheromones Prime are adhesive, pheromone-based traps designed to attract and capture pantry moth species to interrupt breeding in food storage areas.

These single-use paperboard traps use an industry-grade sticky surface and a targeted sex pheromone lure to draw in common food moths such as Indian meal moths and Mediterranean flour moths. Packaged as a convenient 20-count set in a discrete black design, they’re intended for placement where dry goods are stored—pantries, cupboards, pet-food bins and food storage rooms.

How do these traps stop pantry moths from multiplying?

The traps capture adult male moths by luring them with a concentrated pheromone, preventing mating and reducing future generations. The adhesive holds insects securely so they cannot escape, gradually reducing the active breeding population in the treated area.

• Double-potent pheromone formula targets male food moths.
• Industrial-strength glue ensures captured moths remain stuck.
• Multiple traps increase coverage and interrupt local reproduction.
• Single-use, easy placement for immediate deployment.

Where should I place these traps for best results?

Position traps in areas where adult moths are likely to fly or aggregate—along pantry shelves, near grain containers, behind and under appliances, and close to pet food storage. Use several traps spaced throughout the storage area to create overlapping zones of attraction.

• Place traps at eye level and near suspected infestation sources.
• Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve pheromone strength.
• Do not place on food-preparation surfaces; use shelves or corners.
• For large pantries, distribute multiple traps for full coverage.

How long does each trap remain effective?

Each trap is formulated to remain attractive up to several months under normal indoor conditions, giving weeks of continuous monitoring and capture. Longevity depends on environmental factors—temperature, ventilation and exposure to dust can shorten effective life.

• Typical performance up to six months in controlled indoor settings.
• Store unused traps in a cool, dry place before opening.
• Replace traps sooner if heavily soiled or if pheromone scent fades.
• Use a 20-pack to maintain long-term protection or treat multiple locations.

Are these traps safe to use around food and pets?

The traps are non-toxic and operate without sprays, powders, or poisons, making them suitable for use near food storage when placed correctly. They are designed to be passive monitors and capture devices, but should not be placed directly on open food or where children or pets can access them.

• Non-chemical capture using pheromone lure and adhesive.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets to avoid contact.
• Do not place on countertops or inside open food containers.
• Safe for use near sealed packages of dry goods and pet food bins.
