I'm not aware of specific pheromones for this species - the product in your 
link doesn't appear to name target species so I suspect it's for the Tinea and 
Tineolla spp. The 'sticky' traps should show if and where there is an 
infestation. One moth on a trap is usually nothing to be too concerned about, 
but wise to be aware and continue monitoring with your traps. If this species 
does prove to become a problem there are proprietary powders and residue 
insecticides that can be used to control them. 

All the best,

Hi Jerry,

As others have said it's one of the Carpet beetle species. From what I can make 
out from the image I think we are looking at the Asian Carpet beetle, Anthrenus 
coloratus. It is pretty similar in its habits and biology to the Varied carpet 
beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, so, the same precautions and treatments should be 
applied if warranted. It's certainly a species that you should be aware of, 
monitoring for and controlling if necessary.

All the best,
