Preventing bed bugs
Basic Climbup Insect Interceptor
Product Description
When it comes to bed bug management and monitoring, the climbup insect interceptor is one of the most useful gadgets ever. These devices are quite simple as they create a barrier that prevents bed bugs from entering or exiting your beds. The high-quality material of the product ensures that it is ideal for long-time usage.
Many people who are dealing with annoying and persistent bed bug infestations may not be aware, but bed bugs creep into their mattresses to feed inside walls, furniture, and various other hiding areas. These easy-to-use, inexpensive devices can be extremely handy as they keep track of bed bug infestations and prevent them from feeding on your blood during nighttime and their reproduction.
Climbup insect interceptors can tell you not only whether or not you have bed bugs, but also how huge the infestation is and when the pests have finally left. In short, the device helps with early detection and prevention against bed bug infestation of your beds and furniture, monitoring the ongoing infestations, and improving elimination efforts. This bed bug treatment makes monitoring easier as it doesn’t work as a pesticide. So it is safe to use in any part of your house.
How It Works
The climbup bed bug interceptor works based on the fact that bed bugs have difficulty climbing vertical and slippery surfaces. Just like how they work, you may also know these devices as bed bug pitfall traps. Interceptor cups typically have a plastic dish or center well that is large enough to hold a bedpost and an outer pitfall ring that traps and retains bed bugs.
The sides of the cup’s exterior surface will be vertical or nearly vertical. As the outer climbing surface is white paper, it attracts bed bugs and lets you monitor traps. To make it more difficult for the trapped bed bugs from escaping, a light coat of talcum powder is sometimes applied to the insides of the cup. Whilst talc may not be harmful to bed bugs, you need a very fine coating of it. However, adding too much of it can make it difficult to spot bed bugs in the trap.
This multi-directional pitfall trap is more efficient than a basic barrier since it not only prevents bed bugs from getting into your bed but also confines them. This considerably reduces the risk that they will find other ways to get to you or your furnishings.
How to Use
You should install Climbup insect interceptors under furniture legs, especially those you use for sleeping or resting, such as couches, or beds. These insect traps work most effectively if you place them under a bed where someone is asleep. Once you finish installing them, the trap intercepts the bed bugs as soon as they try to get on top of your bed or furniture.
