FAQs
Is this product safe for use around pets and children?
Yes, the Acana Moth Trap uses chemical-free pheromone technology and is considered safe for use in homes with children and pets.
How long does a refill pad last?
A refill pad typically lasts for 2-3 months, depending on the level of moth activity in the area and environmental conditions.
What type of moths does this trap attract?
This trap specifically targets and attracts adult clothes moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), which are known for damaging fabrics.
Can this trap eliminate an entire moth infestation?
The trap is primarily for monitoring and controlling adult moth populations. For severe infestations, it is recommended to use in conjunction with other pest control methods and thorough cleaning.
Where is the best place to put the moth trap?
Place the trap in enclosed areas where moths are likely to be found, such as inside wardrobes, closets, drawers, or storage boxes containing fabrics.
Do I need to replace the entire trap, or just the refill?
You only need to replace the refill pad. The trap itself is reusable and designed to hold the refill.
Does this product have an expiration date?
While the trap itself does not expire, the pheromones on the refill pads can degrade over time. It's best to use refills within a reasonable timeframe after purchase for optimal effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Trap is not attracting any moths.
Ensure the refill pad is correctly inserted and the protective backing has been removed. Verify the pheromones are not expired. Check that the trap is placed in an area with known moth activity and not near open windows or drafts.
Moths are getting around the trap.
This trap is designed for monitoring and control of adult moths. For severe infestations, additional pest control methods may be necessary. Ensure the trap is placed strategically within the affected area.
Refill pad is not sticky.
The refill pad may have lost its adhesiveness due to age or exposure to humidity. Replace the refill pad with a fresh one from the refill pack.
