FAQs
Are these traps safe to use around pets and children?
Yes, the Ambush Pro traps are pesticide-free and use pheromones, making them safe for use in households with pets and children when placed out of direct reach.
How long do the pheromones last?
The pheromones are designed to attract moths for approximately 6-8 weeks. After this period, or when the trap is full, it should be replaced for continued effectiveness.
Can I use these traps for other types of insects?
No, these traps are specifically formulated with pheromones to attract carpet and clothes moths. They are not designed to attract or catch other types of insects.
What is the best placement for these traps?
Place traps in dark, undisturbed areas where moths are typically found, such as inside wardrobes, drawers, closets, and behind furniture or along baseboards.
How many traps should I use?
For effective monitoring, it is recommended to use multiple traps. Place them in different locations where moth activity is suspected, such as in each affected room, closet, or wardrobe.
Will these traps eliminate a severe moth infestation?
These traps are primarily for monitoring and capturing moths. For severe infestations, they should be used as part of a broader pest control strategy that may include cleaning, storage solutions, and professional advice.
Troubleshooting
No moths caught after several days
Ensure traps are placed in active moth pathways, typically in dark, undisturbed areas. Verify that the pheromone lure is exposed and not covered. Check if the room is excessively drafty or if there are other strong competing scents.
Traps seem less effective over time
Pheromone lures have a limited effective lifespan. Replace traps every 6-8 weeks, or sooner if they become full of captured moths or dust.
Moths are present but not going into the trap
Ensure the trap is positioned correctly and is accessible. Moths may be attracted to the pheromone but unable to reach the sticky surface if the trap is not appropriately placed or if the infestation is very low-level and sporadic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the traps and carefully separate them.
- Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive strip.
- Fold the trap into a triangular or rectangular tent shape, ensuring the sticky surface is on the inside.
- Place the traps in areas where moth activity has been observed or suspected.
Placement Recommendations:
- Closets & Wardrobes: Hang on hangers or place on shelves.
- Drawers: Lay flat on the bottom of drawers.
- Rooms: Place discreetly in corners, behind furniture, or near potential entry points.
- Avoid high-traffic areas: Traps are most effective in undisturbed locations.
Compatibility:
These traps are designed to attract and capture carpet moths (Tineola bisselliella) and clothes moths (Tinea pellionella). They are compatible with most indoor environments, including homes, apartments, storage units, and businesses.
Care:
- No special care is required for the traps themselves. They are single-use.
- Keep traps dry and away from direct sunlight, which can reduce pheromone efficacy.
- Clean the surrounding area regularly to complement the traps' function.
