Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on clothes moth pheromones - we've been using the Storgard tinea pellionella and tineola biselliella combi lures for about six months and haven't seen any clothes moths in our traps. We have previously found both pellionella and biselliella, as well as hofmannophila pseudospretella and more recently monopis crocicapitella in our storage spaces and have dealt with infestations of pellionella and biselliella in our fur and furniture collections.
We were using Insects Limited pheromones previously which had been very effective but moved to the Storgard lure as our new supplier didn't carry Insects Limited pheromones. We had a low-level ongoing clothes moth presence for a few years and I'm not sure if the current lack of moths is due to our trapping and eradication programs working, or that these particular pheromones aren't as effective as others. Has anyone compared different brands of pheromones or have any recommendations? Would be great to know which brands have worked well for others! Thanks so much!
