We have clothing moths in some of our walls. We put Nuvan into an open pocket in the wall by a radiator and sealed the tiny room it was in and put a moth catcher/tent close to the Nuvan strip. After a couple of days, moths emerged in the next door room but moth traps in the treated area/room were empty. This says to me that the smell of Nuvan will push moths away from the Nuvan strips. Can anyone confirm if this is true? We are dealing with a unique situation so this is relevant. Thank you very much! (we have been fighting this situation for 2 years and have isolated moths to just this area - it has been very difficult)
Nuvan ProStrips Large Size can be used in closets for moths, however they are not labeled specifically for clothes moths. Be sure to keep the closet sealed up for at least 2 weeks. We do not recommend you try to use Nuvan ProStrips to treat entire rooms as the vapor will have a hard time building up to the needed level and moving into all of the cracks and crevices. Nuvan Prostrips can only be used in small enclosed areas such as closets (no air vents can be present), cupboards, boxes, bags or small storage bins/areas. The Nuvan ProStrips are odorless.
The moth traps we carry, such as the Catchmaster Clothes Moth Traps are great for both the Webbing Clothes Moths and the Case Making Clothes Moths. These glue traps feature a high-quality adhesive with an attractant that imitates the scent of naturally occurring moth sex pheromones. You should not put out more then 2 of the moth traps at a time in your entire home, because it would oversaturate your home with too much of the pheromone and it will confuse the moths so you will not catch any.
