Bed Bug Interceptors – 4 Pack | Bed Bug Blocker (Pro) Interceptor Traps (White) | Insect Trap, Monitor, and Detector for Bed Legs

Got these after getting bedbug bites on vacation to make sure our mitigation efforts worked and we didn’t bring the bedbugs home with us. Fortunately, we haven’t seen any bedbugs in the interceptors (knock on wood!) but it was able to capture what looks to be a cockroach. I was skeptical about how well it would work but it actually was able to keep it in the middle area just running in circles unable to escape. So it works very well!

Very sturdy. Great to use in a dorm room at college. Easy to assemble and use.

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!!

If you've ever encountered bed bugs you'll be as paranoid as I am. The traps are a preventive measure to prevent the devils from getting to me in the night. So, far every time I've checked the traps there have been no bugs in them. The reason I believe there are no bugs in the traps is because I was successful in killing them all, Still, although I hope I've killed them all by spraying, and starving them to death by using bed bug proof mattress, and box spring covers, there is always the lingering dread that I may see them again in the future. So, these traps so far have just been for extra peace of mind.

I didn't know until a few months ago that I'm allergic to bed bugs. My arm, face, leg would swell up and be inflamed for days. I have tried diatomaceous earth. I have tried spraying my house with an ungodly amount of pesticide. I have tried buying carpet steamers. No matter what I tried it seemed like I could never sleep safely at night. I feel pumped that the trap actually worked and that it caught a bed bug 24 hours after installation. This size was much larger than I needed, that's on me for not checking my needed size. But I'm so happy that this thing works. I'm ordering more of them for the rest of my house. Awesome idea!

I don't know yet. I cannot position it correctly because I can't lift my bed into the product. It's too heavy for me alone.

These are very well made and of thicker plastic than others, so they will last longer than others and not break as easily as others under a bed's weight. I have wall to wall carpet in the bedroom, so I put a 5"x8" steel nail plate under each. (Search 'nail plate' in your local box hardware store's website for examples; no need to do all this if you have wood or hard flooring.)

These don't work!!! If you have bed bugs, don't buy these! I've tried lots of remedies. These are Not worth the cost of trying.
