Close Up. Moth Trap With Captured Male Common Clothes Moths. Pest Control. Stock Photography

After accidentally leaving a window open overnight, this is what happened. A pheromone pad only attracts the male common clothes moth, Tineola bisselliella to the trap. The idea is that ridding the area of males, will stop the reproduction cycle and then no eggs can be laid on clothing or knitting wool, as it is the grubs that damage textiles.
