Full details
This 6-pack of Volila Moth Traps is designed for homeowners looking to protect their clothes and stored food from destructive moth infestations. These traps effectively break the moth breeding cycle using a non-toxic attractant and ultra-sticky glue. While highly effective and discreet, they are a passive monitoring and trapping solution and may require supplementary measures for severe infestations.

FAQs
How long do the moth traps last?
Each moth trap is effective for approximately 3 months. After this period, or when the sticky surface is full, it should be replaced for continued protection.
Are these traps safe for use around food?
Yes, the attractant used in these traps is non-toxic and odorless, making them safe for use in pantries and near food storage areas.
What types of moths do these traps catch?
These traps are designed to capture both clothes moths (often found in fabric storage areas) and pantry moths (commonly found in kitchens and around stored food).
Can I reuse a moth trap?
No, these are single-use disposable traps. Once the glue is full or the attractant has expired, the trap should be discarded and replaced.
How many traps should I use?
For best results, place one trap in each affected area or wardrobe. For larger rooms or severe infestations, you may need multiple traps strategically placed.
Do the traps emit any smell?
No, the pheromone attractant is designed to be odorless to humans and pets, providing discreet protection without unwanted scents.
What should I do if I accidentally touch the sticky glue?
Carefully use soap and water or a small amount of vegetable oil to remove the glue from skin. For fabrics, treat as a sticky stain before washing.
Troubleshooting
Moths are not entering the trap.
Ensure the trap is placed in the direct flight path of moths and away from competing food sources (especially for pantry moths). Check that the protective film has been fully removed from the sticky surface and that the pheromone attractant is still active (replace if older than 3 months).
Trap is not standing properly.
Ensure the trap is fully unfolded into its triangular shape. The design is self-standing once properly assembled.
Glue seems less sticky.
The sticky surface may have accumulated dust or lost its efficacy over time. For optimal performance, replace the trap every 3 months or when it appears less sticky.
Infestation seems to be getting worse.
These traps are designed to catch adult moths and break the breeding cycle. For severe infestations, consider a thorough cleaning of affected areas and the potential need for supplementary pest control measures.
