Best clothes moth traps

Updated: 23 October 2026

You want one pack for a UK wardrobe or a wool carpet, and best only helps if the job is named. The lowest price per trap, the largest review file, a Latin species name and monitor-only wording are four different winners in this set. These best clothes moth traps are conditional picks from eleven amazon.co.uk listings saved on 21 October 2026. There is no lab test, and a full card is not a cleared wardrobe. The full table is on the [clothes moth trap comparison](/hub/pest-control/clothes-moth-trap). A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

A large-sample 10-pack when you want advice with the cards

The top pick is the Theo's Home Care London Moth 10-pack, about £17.95, about £1.80 a trap. It is rated 4.4 from 3,153 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest independent sample once you stop double-counting MothOut. The bullets name the common clothes moth, case-making moths and pale-backed moths, and they state 4 months once opened, the longest life claim here. Reviewers describe dozens of moths within half an hour where a fly spray had failed. The eBook is seller advice, not a test result. Skip it if you need monitoring-only wording. London Moth also says protect, which the Health and Safety Executive does not treat as a monitor claim. Saved reviews include spiders on the glue and moths still in the room after about six months, though fewer. Pale-backed is a seller line. The Museum guide names Tineola bisselliella and Tinea pellionella. English Heritage says a male lure will not control an infestation. The checks are on the clothes moth trap buying guide.

A named monitor when you want a lower pack price

The best value pick is the Insectix 6-pack at £13.56, about £2.26 a card, rated 4.5 from 401 reviews. The bullets name male Tineola bisselliella, say monitoring, say there is no insecticide and no noticeable scent, and state up to 90 days. Reviewers split cards across a wardrobe, drawers and a storage box. It is a usable sample with a Latin name and a printed life, not the cheapest card in the set. Acana’s 10 boards at £14.84 are about £1.48 each and name both Latin species, but they say attract and kill, state no life, and saved UK texts include moths that ignored the cards. Super Ninja is £7.99 for four, 3.8 from 184, and also says control. Insectix still has empty-card reviews, glue on fingers, a title that says carpet detection while the bullet names only Tineola, and a pieces field that says 1 against a unit count of 6. Take it when you want a mid-price male monitor and you will still clean the wool. A spray, mothballs or cedar is a different choice, on clothes moth trap vs spray.

Skip a tiny sample and a hanger clash

Erigathe is 5.0 from 4 reviews, at £8.99 for five boards, about £1.80 each, with a life of about 8 to 12 weeks and no Latin name. All four UK texts are five stars. A fault that is uncommon would not appear. Lumora at £15.99 has no Customer Reviews line. The title says 10 traps and the unit count says 6, so there is no honest price per trap. Entopest has the biggest file, 3.9 from 5,891, male Tineola, up to 12 weeks, about £1.90 a pad, and monitoring-only wording. Reviewers call the newer hangers flimsy. The title says 10 hangers and a bullet says 5. The model field says Fruit Traps. It is the deepest sample, not the top pick.

A duplicated star row is one vote

MothOut’s 10-pack at £17.98 and 5-pack at £14.99 share one 4.5 from 1,769. The 10-pack is about £1.80 a trap; the 5-pack is about £3.00. The lavender pouch is a freshener, not the lure. Manchester Mothmen, 4.6 from 632 at £17.95, is monitoring only and three-sided for a carpet, at about £3.59 a trap, with no stated life. That is a floor card, not the value pick. Placement is on how to use clothes moth traps.

Common questions

Which pack is the top pick here, and who should skip it?
London Moth’s 10-pack at £17.95, 4.4 from 3,153 reviews, about £1.80 a trap, with 4 months once opened. It suits ten cards and a large independent sample. Skip it if you need monitor-only wording. The listing also says protect. A full card still leaves larvae in the wool.
Which pack is the best value, and why not the cheapest 10-pack?
Insectix at £13.56, about £2.26 a card, 4.5 from 401 reviews, male Tineola, up to 90 days, and monitoring wording. Acana is cheaper per board and says attract and kill, with no stated life. Super Ninja is £7.99 and 3.8 from 184, with control wording. Best value here means a named monitor with a usable sample, not the lowest sticker.
Why not Entopest, when it has the most reviews?
Entopest is 3.9 from 5,891 reviews, male Tineola, up to 12 weeks, and monitoring-only wording. The repeated complaint is a flimsy hanger. The title says 10 hangers and a bullet says 5, and the model field says Fruit Traps. Related moths are not guaranteed. It is the deepest sample, and the box does not agree with itself.
Are the two MothOut star rows two votes?
No. Both packs show 4.5 from 1,769, and the saved review text is the same. Count it once. The 10-pack is about £1.80 a trap and the 5-pack is about £3.00. The lavender pouch is a freshener. The pheromone is in the glue.
What should I do with Lumora’s missing reviews?
Leave it off the short list. There is no Customer Reviews line, and the title says 10 while the unit count says 6. A stated life of up to 3 months does not repair either gap.
