MothPrevention® speak to customers every day about their clothes moth issues - clothes moths are a species that are ever increasing and that can cause significant damage to clothes, carpets and other home textiles.

Skinner moth traps operate on much the same principle as a Robinson trap - big bright bulb attracts moths which fall into box. But a Skinner trap tends to have a slit rather than a hole, be made of wood and be rectangular, whereas the Robinson is larger, round and made of plastic. All this really reflects is the fact that the Skinner was the precursor of the Robinson, nothing more -- I've made both and the catch is broadly comparable when using the same bulb. Heath Moth TrapThese pests can cause extreme damage to boxwood plants. In short, they strip them of their leaves, which weakens their overall health and destroys their well-kempt appearance.
