Odourless glue trap with sexual attractant (pheromone) for the capture of Indian Meal Moths. These moths occur in nuts, cereals, biscuits, chocolate, tea, flour, rice, pet food, wild bird food and other dry foodstuffs.
A sexual attractant (pheromone) incorporated in the glue, attracts male moths to the glue surface where they are firmly caught. Thus the reproduction cycle is interrupted and the risk of any new infestation is reduced. The Aeroxon Food Moth Trap is easy-to-use and odourless.

Use biocides carefully. Always read the label and product information before use.
Open the bag with scissors and take one glue trap out of the pouch. Note the date of replacement on the trap (after 6 weeks). The second trap may remain inside the opened bag without compromising its effectiveness (the adhesive surface with attractant is safely covered by the white protection paper).
1. Remove the red protective strip from the back of the trap to expose the line of adhesive that fixes the trap to its intended place.
2. Stick the trap to the inside of a cupboard and then run your hand firmly over the trap several times. Use one trap per pantry/cupboard.
3. Remove the front protective paper. A sexual lure (the pheromone) is incorporated in the glue, so the trap is then active.
4. The Food Moth Trap should be replaced when necessary or the latest after 6 weeks.
If the white protective paper is very difficult to peel off, the glue was probably too warm when it was applied. A good way of making it easier to remove the protective paper is to store the traps in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. The glue then becomes stronger and bonds less with the overlying protective paper. After you have fixed the trap in the cabinet, we recommend that you firmly run your fingers over the trap several times. Then hold the trap tightly with one hand and and remove the white protective paper with one quick movement.
