If the room was kept in complete darkness except when not being used, the light 
traps might alert you to adult stage dermestid activity and would likely keep 
some larval food sources (like stink bugs, etc.) in check.

As an anecdote,  I used electric light traps in a storage room that housed 
dried flowers (heavily infested with Plodia interpunctella). The room was left 
in near total darkness for several weeks and the glue trap on the ILT caught 
only two or three moths. On the day of inspection,  adjacent walls were 
peppered with adult specimens and pheromone trap placements were full, so they 
were definitely active enough to have been caught in the light trap had they 
been so inclined.  Visual inspection/cold treatment of the individual plastic 
storage bins yielded better results.  I think light traps have a limited 
capacity for use in early detection, especially battery powered units that may 
not be as bright.

I appreciate your answer. What I meant, though, was an ordinary light trap (for 
flying insects). Like those with electrical grilles and a drawer to collect the 
insects or with sticky changeable glue sheets in the back. But with batteries 
instead of a cord. Battery-powered would be preferred, to avoid too many 
electrical installations in the storage rooms. It is possible to find 
battery-powered insect traps for field work, but I'm not convinced that these 
will be sufficient and powerful enough for monitoring storage rooms over time 
(together with inspections and glue traps with and without pheromone). Any 
experience?

Battery powered as in sound wave prevention? These, in my opinion, are a waste 
of money. Better to use standard sticky traps, routine inspections and targeted 
pheromone trap placements to monitor for infestations. The glow-stick light 
traps might be minimally effective in picking up adult carpet beetle activity, 
but would be ineffective for monitoring  clothes moths.

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask, if someone is familiar with any kind of battery-powered 
insect trap  - that is suitable for use 24/7 in storage rooms (as part of 
monitoring)?

Thank you.
