Nice! And that’s it exactly! As long as some get stuck, then they won’t breed!
My clothes moths traps have trapped so many! I’m planning on buying more to get as many as possible! It’s a great method and means you’re not using insect spray (which isn’t great for humans, and definitely not cats!)

Yikes, definitely hot wash/dry clean/tumble dry everything if you can as they make a meal out of your natural fibre clothes. It’s not a bad idea to bag the clean stuff until they’re gone.
If you ever get desperate there is Frontline spray which contains fipronil and is cat safe. The downside is a tiny spritz bottle is so expensive. It also kills bees so only use it inside.
