Product Information
Full details
The Rentokil Kitchen Moth Traps are designed for homeowners and food storage managers seeking a proactive way to protect dry goods like flour and grains from pantry moth infestations. By utilizing specialist pheromones to attract and monitor moth activity, these traps provide a reliable early-warning system that helps prevent costly food waste. While highly effective at detection and small-scale trapping, please note that these traps act as a monitoring tool rather than a comprehensive solution for eradicating an existing, large-scale breeding infestation.

FAQs
Are these traps toxic to pets or children?
The traps are poison-free and contain no harmful chemicals, making them safe for use in households with children and pets, though they should be kept out of reach to avoid accidental contact with the sticky adhesive.
Can I use these traps in a garage or shed?
Yes, they can be used in any food storage area. However, ensure the environment is relatively stable, as extreme temperature fluctuations may impact the longevity of the pheromone lure.
How do I dispose of a full trap?
Once the trap is full or has reached the end of its 3-month lifespan, simply fold it closed and dispose of it in your normal household waste bin.
Do I need to place traps in every cupboard?
While not strictly required, it is recommended to place traps in each primary food storage area to monitor activity levels effectively.
Does the trap expire if not opened?
The pheromones remain potent as long as the protective backing remains sealed. Keep the traps in a cool, dry place until ready for use.
Troubleshooting
Trap is not catching any moths despite seeing them in the kitchen
Ensure the trap is not placed in a draughty area. If moths are still not attracted, the trap may be past its 3-month lifespan or the infestation may involve a moth species not targeted by the pheromone.
Trap adhesive is no longer sticky
Check if the trap has exceeded its 3-month effectiveness window. If it has, discard and replace with a fresh unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Identify a location in your pantry or cupboard where you have seen small moths or suspect their presence.
- Activation: Peel away the protective backing paper to expose the pheromone-treated adhesive surface.
- Assembly: Fold the trap into its triangular structure and secure the tab firmly to lock it into place.
- Placement: Position the trap on a stable shelf or hang it via the integrated design. Ensure it is away from direct draughts.
- Maintenance: Check the trap regularly for moth activity. If the adhesive becomes covered or the three-month period expires, dispose of it in your normal household waste and replace it as needed.
