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.
