Test result preview
In our tests, Inseko food moth traps proved to be extremely effective in combating food moths. A significant reduction in the moth population was observed after just a short time. The male moths are attracted by a special sexual attractant (pheromone) and reliably adhere to the glue surface, which enables precise detection of the infestation and contributes to effective control of the moth population. The moth traps are easy to use and require no specialised knowledge. The pack contains illustrated instructions for use and professional tips that guarantee satisfactory trapping success. The traps are odourless and 100% insecticide-free, ensuring hygienic and safe use. Inseko moth traps are manufactured in Germany and fulfil high quality standards. The products are regularly tested and further developed in order to always be able to offer customers the best possible product. Compared to chemical insecticides, which often contain toxic substances, Inseko moth traps offer an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution for controlling food moths.
