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,

Thank you! Do you know of a better way to monitor for these moths than standard 
floor-level blunder traps? I was unable to find any pheromones for this type of 
moth. Do you think something like this would work?:

Hi Megan,

This individual is a bit worn and rubbed, but yes I'd say it's an example off 
the Brown House moth, Hofmannophila pseudospretella. This species is frequently 
found at a background level in domestic and other buildings where it is usually 
not too numerous or damaging. It is a species to be aware of though and 
monitoring should tell you if control is necessary.

Hello everyone,

I caught this moth in a blunder trap behind our museum reference 
center, which is on the third floor of our museum. I am concerned that this 
might be a Brown House moth, but I can't be sure. Can anyone help me identify 
this moth? It is approximately half an inch long.

Thank you,
