Bed bug traps

Upon detection bed bugs the apartment should start immediately the fight with them. After all parasite bites may be the result of not only unpleasant itching and allergic reaction, but also human infection with infectious diseases. Today on sale you can find a lot of exterminating pests, among which there are traps for bugs.

Advantages and disadvantages

Traps are one of the most effective ways to deal with domestic cockroaches and ants. It will not be difficult to attract these insects with the smell of goodies. The task is complicated in relation to bugs. After all, only the smell of human blood can lure them, and picking it up is very difficult. Therefore, a truly effective bug trap is a rarity, and its cost will be quite high.

Another disadvantage of the bed bug trap is that it is not able to rid the entire population of pests. To a greater extent, such a device is used as an auxiliary tool - for catching only pests that appeared in the apartment, which have not yet been put off eggs.

On a note!

The advantages of bedbug traps include its simple method of application and relatively affordable cost. Such a device makes it possible determine the presence of pests in the house, and take the necessary measures.

Combat Traps

Very popular today are Kombat traps from bugs, the production of which is carried out by the Korean company Henkel. They are created on the basis of hydramethylnone - an insecticidal component that kills insects and is practically safe for humans. A bloodsucker trapped in a Combat trap is poisoned by a poisonous substance, after which it becomes its distributor among its relatives.

The advantage of this design is the possibility of long-term use, since the poisonous component is not addictive in bedbugs. However, the device does not have one hundred percent efficiency, due to the fact that the bug can not always use it as a shelter. If there is no food source in it, the insect may not creep into such a house. As evidenced by the reviews.

Feedback

I was able to understand that there were bed bugs in the house, only after going to the doctor. It was he who determined that parasite bites are the cause of unpleasant itching. That's when my husband bought Kombat trapsas the safest means of struggle. There are fewer insects, but get rid of bedbugs still failed completely. Apparently for a large accumulation of insects this is not the most suitable option.

Interesting!

Today, researchers are working on the invention of a trap in which a concentrated bug attractant will be used as bait. Such a device is at the experimental stage and has already shown a very encouraging result.

The cost of Combats varies depending on the region, on average it is about 300 rubles. You can buy it at any hardware store.

Bed Bug Beacon Trap

The release of this is the American company Nuvenco. Its uniqueness lies in the absence of insecticides. It uses carbon dioxide from bugs.The developers are sure that it is carbon dioxide exhaled by a person that can attract bugs.

The Bed Bug Beacon Trap is a plastic umbrella connected by a tube to a carbon-filled reservoir. Entering the umbrella, it attracts parasites with its vapor.

Such a trap is set in places of accumulation of bugs or their possible movement. With a slight degree of infection of the premises, the device gives a very effective result. The disadvantages of this adaptation are the need for self-destruction of insects trapped in the trap and the high cost (in the region of 2000-3000 rubles).

Sticky trap

Adhesive tape from bugs is no less effective than from flies or cockroaches. As sticky traps, sheets coated with non-drying adhesive for a long time are used. They are laid out in the sleeping area and in the internal cavities of the furniture - that is, where the parasites most often move.

On sale you can find sticky traps made in the form of small houses. An example of this is Raptor, BrosFeromosstandart or Zoo. Their price range is about 150 rubles.

Feedback

Sticky traps for bedbugs spread throughout the house, which even sometimes they came across on them. New adherent parasites were found almost every day, however, bites on the body continued to appear. Therefore, using traps alone in the fight against bedbugs is inefficient, and as an aid, it is very good.

Do it yourself

You can make traps for bedbugs with your own hands, for this it is enough to use improvised means:

• So, an analogue of adhesive tape can be double-sided tape, which glue the internal walls of furniture. It is important to do so in order to exclude the possibility of contact with the sticky surface of foreign objects. This will help to achieve a greater effect.

  

• Sticky sheets can be replaced with water containers. How to make a bug trap on this principle, yes it is very simple. It is enough to take a deep bowl and fill it with water, after which put a glass on the bed leg and place it in a bowl filled with liquid. Such designs are installed under all the legs of the bed. For sleep for several days it is better to use a different berth.

As a result, starving bugs will be forced to go in search of another source of food. Once in the water, they will inevitably die. Some craftsmen replace water with a mixture of vegetable oil and powdered sugar.

• Similar to the Bed Bug Beacon device, the operating principle has a yeast or talcum powder trap. For this, a vessel with gas is used, the smell of which attracts insects. The parasites oriented to it fall through the hole into the container, but talcum powder scattered at the bottom does not allow them to get back. A wonderful bait for home bugs is yeast dough, because it releases the favorite gas of pests.

Many people wonder if vanillin is the bait. Amid a huge variety folk remedies for bedbugs this odorous powder can do real miracles. Vanilla has excellent repellent properties - its smell is very do not like bugs. Therefore, it is enough to mix vanillin with baking soda and sprinkle the bed around the perimeter with the mixture so that the parasites do not bother during sleep.

Possesses similar properties sagebrush, lavender, rosemary, tansy and tea tree. Of chemicals, ammonia, ammonia, kerosene or turpentine can be used.

Feedback

Having found bugs in the apartment, I decided to use folk remedies and self-made traps in the fight against parasites. Going to bed, she laid out wormwood, and scotch tape, and vanillin with soda. I can’t say that there was an effect.If all this helps, then it is visible only at the first stages of infection of the premises. When there are a lot of insects - I think the use of these funds is a waste of time.

Bedbug traps will help reduce the number of parasites, however, they are still not able to completely clear the parasites from the room, therefore, for full disinsection, you must use effective chemicals.
