The most common moths found in stored foods, feed and seed worldwide are
the Indian meal moth, Mediterranean flour moth, almond moth and raisin
moth. These insects occur almost everywhere, and are attracted by food.
Eggs are laid on or near the food, such as in cracks and crevasses in shelving
and cupboards. Adult moths emerge and fly about seeking mates. The Agro-BioTech
FLOUR MOTH TRAP uses the same chemical messenger (pheromone) that female
moths use to attract male moths for mating. Male moths are drawn by the
scent and caught on the capture pad. Removing male moths prevents the mating
and subsequent egg laying. Long term use of the FLOUR MOTH TRAP will reduce
troubling infestations without the use of toxic chemicals.
