True or False: Pheromone traps are more effective at catching moths near the floor of a room.

Pheromone traps are designed to attract specific pest species, often by mimicking the scents that females of those species release to attract males. The effectiveness of these traps generally relies on the movement patterns of the target insects. For moths, which tend to be flying insects, they are usually found at higher elevations within a room, as they are naturally inclined to fly up rather than stay near the ground.

Since most moth species are attracted to the released pheromones while flying, traps placed at lower heights would be less effective compared to those positioned at heights where moths are more likely to be active. Therefore, it is true that pheromone traps are not more effective near the floor and are typically better placed higher up in the room where moths are more inclined to travel. This understanding clarifies why the assertion that these traps are more effective at catching moths near the floor is false.
