Unless a specific insect is of economic importance, there is not much research on it. The Brown House Moth is generally considered to be of non-economic importance.
I too did a quick search trying to find a pheromone specific to it, and the only thing I could find was a company in Great Britain that could potentially have it. I could find no US based suppliers and non of our suppiers carry it.
The only thing I can recommend is to try and capture some on glue boards and then use them as a natural pheromone attractant. Sometimes when you capture certain insects, the dead insects will attract others. I know this sounds kind of simplistic, but in many entomological labs, they use very elementary techniques something is not readily available.
Hope this helps.
