Usually, you inadvertently bring in the eggs or tiny larvae through infested second-hand clothing, borrowed textiles, or older carpets. Sometimes, the adult insects simply fly in through an open window on warm summer evenings, attracted by cozy retreats.

While these intense scents are certainly useful for prevention, they are usually not enough for an acute infestation. At Green Guardia, we consistently rely on the gentle yet highly effective power of nature. Our parasitic wasps are tiny beneficial insects that eliminate the moths' hidden eggs naturally, thus interrupting the entire life cycle of the pests. As soon as there are no more moth eggs, the helpful insects disappear completely unnoticed on their own. In our online assortment, we offer you a perfectly coordinated variety of beneficial insects, biological adhesive traps, and purely natural repellent sprays.

This way, both methods complement each other perfectly and help to contain a clothes moth infestation sustainably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px 0 0 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use Trichogramma wasps over several weeks according to the application plan to ensure newly laid moth eggs are also covered. Additionally, check affected textiles and clean them thoroughly, as Trichogramma wasps do not combat existing larvae or pupae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #e2f1e2; padding: 18px; border-left: 4px solid #305832; border-radius: 6px; margin-top: 18px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔍 Pest identification – free service:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAre you unsure whether you are dealing with clothes moths, pantry moths, or other pests?\u003cbr\u003e\n✔️ Photograph the insect and send us the picture by email.\u003cbr\u003e\n✔️ We will analyze it for free and give you suitable recommendations for control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Green Guardia - Ihr Schädlingsexperte","offers":[{"title":"3x Fallen","offer_id":55651937583443,"sku":"Kleider_mottenfalle_3x_31483","price":4.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x Fallen","offer_id":55651937616211,"sku":"Kleider_mottenfalle_6x_31490","price":7.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9x Fallen","offer_id":55651937648979,"sku":"Kleider_mottenfalle_9x_31506","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x Fallen","offer_id":55651937681747,"sku":"Kleider_mottenfalle_12x_31513","price":11.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15x Fallen","offer_id":55651937714515,"sku":"Kleider_mottenfalle_15x_31520","price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/4825\/0195\/files\/kleidermotten-fallen-mit-pheromonlockstoff-7421584.png?v=1793245662"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/4825\/0195\/collections\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4m3q4b4m3q4b4m3q.jpg?v=1794405548","url":"https:\/\/www.greenguardia.es\/en\/collections\/clothes-moths.oembed","provider":"Green Guardia - Ihr Experte für Schädlinge und Pflanzen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
