If you're noticing small flying insects in your pantry or holes in your clothes, you're likely dealing with a moth infestation. While mothballs and chemical sprays are common, many people are now turning to natural, eco-friendly moth traps to get rid of moths safely and effectively. In this guide, we’ll explain how moth traps work, why they’re a better alternative to harsh chemicals, and how to choose the best moth traps for your home.
What Causes a Moth Infestation?
Moths are attracted to:
-
Food sources like grains, flour, and dried fruits (pantry moths)
-
Natural fibers like wool, cotton, and silk (closet moths)
-
Warm, dark areas for nesting
If you’re spotting small, beige or brown flying insects, you may have pantry moths or clothes moths — both of which can cause real damage.
Why Use Moth Traps Instead of Sprays or Mothballs?
-
Chemical-Free: Mothballs release toxic fumes that are dangerous to pets, children, and even adults.
-
Eco-Friendly: Our traps use natural pheromones to attract and trap moths — no chemicals, no mess.
-
Odor-Free & Safe: No strong smells or residue left behind.
-
Targeted: Unlike sprays, moth traps specifically attract moths without harming beneficial insects.
How Do Moth Traps Work?
At Eco-Tastic, our traps are designed with a non-toxic pheromone attractant. The scent mimics a female moth, luring male moths to the sticky surface and interrupting their mating cycle. With continued use, this reduces the population over time and helps eliminate the infestation completely.
Where to Place Moth Traps for Best Results
-
Pantry: Place traps near dry goods like cereal, flour, rice, and pet food.
-
Closet: Hang or place traps near wool sweaters, jackets, and storage bins.
-
Garage or Basement: These dark areas are often overlooked but common moth habitats.
✅ Pro tip: Use 2–3 traps per room for full coverage, and replace every 2–3 months for best results.

✅ Pheromone-based and non-toxic
