Moth traps are devices designed to capture and monitor moth populations, particularly those that can damage clothing or stored food. They often use a combination of pheromones, which attract male moths, and sticky surfaces to trap them. This helps in identifying infestations and reducing their numbers. These traps come in various forms, including sticky traps and light traps. Sticky traps are usually placed in areas where moths are likely to enter, while light traps use ultraviolet light to attract moths at night. Both types are effective tools for pest control and monitoring.
