Format selection depends on site type and pressure profile. The Viper Food Moth Trap Funnel suits high-volume bulk stores and silos where larger capture surface and gravity-feed funnel handle the pressure. The Viper Pantry Moth Trap is the dry-store rotation flagship, most-shipped, and fits standard food storage and retail dry stores. The Viper Food and Clothes Moth Trap 2-in-1 carries both pheromone lures, suits sites with both food and textile pressure (high-end hospitality, mixed museum / restaurant venues). Viper Moth Monitor Pads are replacement consumables: the rotation revenue. The Killgerm AF Black Box Insect Pheromone Pads cover multi-pest reach (pantry moth + clothes moth + cockroach + beetle). Pest IT supplies format selection at trade-depth.

Standard pheromone lure refresh cadence is 12 weeks across most Viper moth trap formats. The lure releases pheromone at a known rate, drops below detectable threshold around 12 weeks, and a refresh re-lures the trap. Higher-temperature sites (rooftop dry stores, summer warehouses) drop lure life faster, with refresh every 8-10 weeks. Lower-temperature sites (museum collection storage at conservation-grade 18-21°C) extend lure life, with refresh every 14-16 weeks. The trap log records refresh dates as part of the audit / conservation record. Pest IT supplies the refresh cadence at trade-depth.

Food storage placement maps to dry-store rotation cycles: traps placed at storage perimeter, near suspected entry points (door frames, ventilation grilles, palletised goods), at heights where adult males naturally fly. Museum / heritage collection placement maps to collection storage layout: traps placed at storage cabinet vicinity, between collection aisles, at heights matching collection storage rather than human eye-line. Conservation-grade placement avoids any visual or chemical interference with displayed objects. Pest IT supplies placement strategy across both contexts.

Audit-grade record sets (HACCP, BRCGS, SQF, WQA) document trap placement on the site map, capture counts on each rotation visit, lure-refresh dates, and corrective action on any threshold breach. Conservation-grade record sets document the same fields plus collection-care decision-making: escalation events, controlled-environment intervention (freezing, anoxic, heat), conservation-treatment authorisation, and re-display authorisation. Pest IT supplies both audit and conservation contexts.

Commercial-kitchen IPM contracts often pair moth monitoring with cockroach monitoring (kitchen behind-the-line cockroach pressure) and fly capture (UV fly unit + glueboard for hospitality fly load). The Cockroach Monitoring collection holds the kitchen monitoring kit program. The Fly Control Systems collection (Cluster 4) holds the commercial fly control across the Viper and BRC signature ranges. Cross-Family bundle (Bundle 4, the Pestie's IPM Food Storage Kit) wraps the moth, cockroach, rodent, and fly modules for multi-pest food-storage IPM contracts.

Auditors and conservators both ask for the placement map first because it shows the program is live across the venue. The map records every trap location on the site plan, the lure-refresh date, and the catch count from each rotation visit. When pressure shifts and a previously quiet trap registers a new catch, the map shows where the pressure moved and what the corrective action was. Food-premises auditors under HACCP, BRCGS, and SQF frameworks accept the placement map as the primary detection-system record. Conservation log frameworks accept it the same way.
