Bed Bug Interceptors – 8 Pack | Bed Bug Blocker (Pro) Interceptor Traps (White) | Insect Trap, Monitor, and Detector for Bed Legs

These are very effective, my bedbug problem was gone by the time I got these but one of the interceptors had 8 small dead spiders in it so they definitely work and I'd not for me letting the dust build up in it maybe even more spiders would've been caught. I am assuming it was the interceptor at the corner part that captured the spiders, all the others empty with dust and tiny insects barely visible.

We picked up bed bugs while traveling. They usually cling to luggage, and when you bring them home, they travel from luggage onto your bed and drink your delicious blood as you sleep!Bed bugs must be the inspiration for the Dracula story, but they are much less sexy and extremely irritating!It is very expensive and not always successful to call an exterminator for your bed bugs. We did a lot of research before we used this eradication method, and—saints be praised!—it was successful! We were bed bug free about 2.5 weeks after initial symptoms. Does that seem like a long time? Well, that ain't nothin' in the world of bed bug eradication! Some people pay $$$ over and over to get rid of these pests! Here was our strategy:1) We washed everything from our suitcases and all bedding in warm water and dried them in the sun on the close line until they were extra-crispy!2) We ran a steamer—one of those plastic portable irons—slowly over every surface of the mattress and box spring, repeating the treatment on the seams and piping, where bedbugs congregate. Also on the toe molding around the room (also a favorite convention site for bed bugs), and also made space between the toe molding and furniture, luggage, or anything else that could transport the little suckers.3) We isolated the bed from the walls and the floor using the Bed Bug Interceptors, the subject of this product review. Bedbugs cannot leap or fly: they can only crawl, and they cannot crawl up the legs of your bed when the Bedbug Interceptor is in their way! We threw a little baby powder in the canals of the Bedbug Interceptors to make their journey slipperier, thus even harder for the bugs to make it to the bed legs!We highly recommend the Bedbug Interceptors as part of a complete bedbug eradication plan! Safe for humans, environmentally friendly, no more trouble than more toxic solutions, cost-effective, and no animals were harmed—except bedbugs!!

I think my headline says it all. If you have bedbugs or if you're worried about them, get a set of these. An eight pack is enough for two beds (with four feet each - some Queen/Kings have more than four feet). These are big enough to accommodate 3 inch round or 3 x 1.5 inch rectangular feet.To use, make sure that nothing else from the bed is touching the floor or the wall or the nightstands. Then, put one of these under each foot. If you want, you can fill the little trough with diatomaceous earth (which is like a very fine sand) that you can also buy for not much money. [Bedbugs are mercifully flightless and delicate, so making them crawl through an abrasive substance will kill them.] Once you've isolated the bed in this way, buy fully encasing mattress protectors for your mattress (and boxspring if you have one) in case they're already living in your bed. Then wash your sheets and blankets. Finally, either change out your pillows, or dry them in a clothes dryer at full heat for 30 minutes, or encase them in a pillow protector. And you're done. Ensure you leave everything in place for 18 months, since bedbugs are remarkable survivors.It takes less than $100 to make a bed bedbug proof, and this is an essential part of that. If your home is infested (you're getting bitten on your couch, etc), then call an exterminator. If not, using this product along with mattress and pillow encasement should be all you need.

Thanks to a hoarder neighbor who drags in furniture off of the street, my apartment and several of my neighbor’s apartments got bed bugs. Don’t kid yourself. Bed bugs are really hard to get rid of. REALLY HARD. If you can afford killing them with heat, that is the best way. But if you can’t, here’s what I did:These traps work well IF you put diatomaceous earth in them before you put them under your furniture. Bed bugs infest your furniture by climbing up the legs. The traps have a channel in which most of the bugs get trapped. But sometimes they are able to climb out of that channel and into the center cup, where they can access your furniture legs. Diatomaceous earth stops them. Not sure how it kills them, but I’ve witnessed them flopping around in it and dying.I invested in a tiny steamer, which didn’t really help. Perhaps had I more money to spend, a better quality steamer might do the trick. And the steam made my bed wet. Not ideal.So, furniture isolated from the floor with traps, and pulled away from the walls, I then started spraying. I tried some stuff which cost about $17 a bottle.24 oz, maybe. I can’t remember. It smelled horrible and frankly, didn’t work all that well.I spent $60 for a gallon of Harris Bed Bug Killer. It kills the eggs, which is key. Don’t kill the eggs, the bugs hatch and your furniture is reinfested. Also, it doesn’t smell, so when you go to bed you won’t feel like you’re sleeping in a chemical plant. All the other stuff applies; get junk and/or clothing up off of the floor. Pull heavy furniture like dressers and book cases out, vacuum, and spray under them. Don’t forget the baseboard, and any electrical outlets. Go through your home and vacuum, then spray. Empty the vacuum into a plastic bag, tie it and take it out to the trash. Wash your clothing and bedding in hot water. I’ve not seen any bugs in my dresser, so so far I haven’t felt the need to pull everything out & spray. I’ll update this review if I feel I need to do that.Be patient. It takes some time to eradicate the bugs. They hide. My fabric chair was particularly difficult. I had to get deep into the seams and places where the fabric puckers. Sticky tape can be helpful in those areas, then spray. And of course, your neighbors have to do it as well, or a whole new crop will come. Good luck!
