moth traps

Moth traps are devices designed to attract and capture moths for monitoring or control purposes. They typically use light, such as ultraviolet bulbs, which allure moths—since they are drawn to light sources at night. The trap then captures the moths, often using a sticky surface, funnel, or container, preventing their escape. These traps help gardeners and pest managers assess moth activity, identify pest species, and reduce damage to plants or stored products. They are non-toxic, environmentally friendly tools crucial for integrated pest management and early detection of moth infestations.
