moth traps
Lure flying pests
Moth traps are devices designed to capture moths, typically using pheromones or light to attract them.
Most household moth traps target clothes moths or pantry moths, using sticky surfaces baited with species-specific pheromones: I put moth traps in the closet to protect the woolens.
In agriculture and pest management, moth traps monitor populations or reduce breeding.
