📋How to Use Clothes Moth Boss
1
Open Individual
Trap
Take out one trap and peel off the protective sheet to expose the sticky interior.
2
Fold Trap
Fold the trap into a triangle shape and tuck the tab into place. This keeps the sticky surface safely inside while the pheromone attractant disperses.
3
Place in Storage Areas
Put traps in closets, clothing cabinets, and anywhere clothing or linens are stored. Focus on areas with wool, cashmere, or natural fiber items.
4
Add Additional Traps
Use multiple traps to increase effectiveness. Each pack comes with 6 traps.
5
Check Weekly
Check the traps weekly and replace when full or after 3 months of use ⁺when used as directed.
Tip: Corner shelves at eye level, hanging from closet rods near natural fibers, or on floors in corners work well since moths naturally travel along edges.
Quick Setup (Takes About 5 Minutes)
What to Expect
Clothes Moth Boss uses pheromone attractants to lure male moths to the sticky trap, which breaks the breeding cycle ⁺when used as directed. Here's what's normal:
🎯
How They Work
The pheromones mimic female moths and attract males. Once caught, they can't breed, which stops new generations from damaging your clothes. You're preventing future damage, not killing existing larvae that might already be in your fabrics.
🧵
If You're Catching Moths
This is a good sign - it means the traps are working. You may see moths for 2-4 weeks as existing adults are drawn to the traps. After this period, new holes in clothing should stop appearing as the breeding cycle breaks.
❌
If You're NOT Catching Moths
Empty traps often mean you don't have an active infestation - which is great! The pheromones only attract moths that are actually present. Keep the traps in place as prevention.
Signs It's Working:
Moths caught in traps (indicates active control)
No new holes appearing in stored clothing over time
Fewer adult moths spotted flying around closets
Empty traps after initial placement (may mean no infestation)
🔧Common Questions We Get
Here's what we've learned from helping customers with moth control:
Issue
What to Do
No moths caught after several weeks
This often means you don't have an active moth infestation, which is good news. The traps only catch moths that are present. Keep them in place as prevention, especially if you store wool or natural fiber clothing.
Still seeing moths despite traps
If you're seeing 1-2 moths, they're probably being drawn to the trap - that's working as intended. If you're seeing lots of moths, add more traps to areas where you've spotted activity and make sure they're near natural fiber items.
Not sure where to place them
Put traps closer to areas with wool, cashmere, and silk clothing. Try corners of closets, near stored seasonal items, or areas where you've seen moth activity before. Moths travel along edges, so corners work well.
How many traps do I need?
Start with 1-2 traps per closet or storage area where you keep natural fiber clothing. Add more if you see heavy moth activity. Each pack comes with 6 traps.
Seasonal moth increases
Moths are most active during warmer months when they're looking for places to lay eggs. You might see more activity in spring and summer - this is normal.
❓Your Questions Answered
How does BugMD Clothes Moth Boss work?

Clothes Moth Boss trap is filled with powerful pheromone attractants specifically designed to lure clothes moths and fabric-destroying pests. The specialized lure mimics female moth pheromones, drawing male moths to the ultra-sticky trap where they can't escape, breaking the breeding cycle that destroys your clothing ⁺when used as directed.

What does it mean if my traps aren't catching any moths?

Empty traps are often good news! It may mean you don't currently have an active clothes moth infestation. Traps only catch moths that are present - no moths in traps could mean your preventive measures are working or there simply aren't moths in that area right now.

I'm still seeing moths even with traps placed - what should I do?

If you're still seeing moths, try adding more traps to areas where you've spotted activity, ensure you have 1-2 traps per closet, and check that traps are positioned near wool items or stored fabrics where moths are most likely to be active.

Do the traps stick to my clothes or damage fabrics?
