Rescue Birdseed Moth Trap

How It Works

The RESCUE! Birdseed Moth Trap uses a pheromone lure that attracts multiple species of moths. It’s easily activated with the lure disk that’s included with the package. Moths are lured by the pheromone and get stuck on the glue dot pattern on the inside of the trap.

What types of moths does this trap catch?

This trap is designed to catch common pantry and birdseed moths, including the Indian meal moth, Raisin moth, Almond moth and Mediterranean flour moth.

How does the trap work?

The moth trap uses a pheromone lure that attracts certain male moths. Once they enter the trap, they become stuck on the glue-dot pattern inside the trap shell and cannot escape.

Where should I place the trap for best results?

Place the trap indoors near locations where moths or their signs appear: in pantries near flour, cereals or birdseed; inside food cabinets; or in garages/sheds where birdseed is stored. You can hang it via the lure disk hole or simply place it on a shelf.

Is the trap safe to use around food, pets and children?

This trap uses a pheromone lure and adhesive surface to lure and trap moths. It can be used near food storage. Always follow the label instructions and place it in a location where pets or children won’t tamper with it.

How long does the trap stay effective?

Each trap remains effective for up to about 3 months when left undisturbed and placed in a proper location.

Can this trap be used outdoors too?

While designed primarily for indoor use (e.g., kitchen, pantry, garage), you could use it in a sheltered outdoor spot (like a covered shed) where conditions stay dry. Be mindful that outdoor exposure could reduce effectiveness or lifespan.

Why might I still see moths after I set the trap?

The trap works on catching male moths and interrupting the breeding cycle. You may still see some moths for a short time as the population decreases. It takes time for the entire infestation to wind down. If you continue to see large numbers, repositioning the trap or adding extra traps may help.

How many traps should I use for a large infestation or big storage area?

For larger storage spaces or intense infestations, consider using more than one trap — for example, one in each major storage zone or where you most often see moth activity. More monitoring and multiple traps improve coverage.

What should I do after deploying the trap?

Continue to monitor the area: remove any infested food items or birdseed, clean up crumbs and spills, and maintain good storage hygiene (airtight containers, sealed bags). Replace the trap after its effective life or if the sticky surface becomes full.

Does the trap kill the larvae, eggs or only adult moths?

This trap mainly captures adult male moths via the pheromone lure, which disrupts reproduction. It does not directly kill eggs or larvae, so combining it with proper sanitation and removal of infested items helps ensure complete control.
