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

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!

They really work! I was skeptical at first, however, as soon as we installed the interceptors we saw immediate results with bugs, being trapped almost within the hour.

These are advertised as interceptors and that's what they are, so don't expect anything else. I have found that the trick to dealing with bed bugs is to break the cycle of growth / reproduction. They cannot molt or lay eggs without feeding first, so I try to prevent them from feeding. These interceptors will prevent bed bugs from crawling up to your bed from the floor and that's a beginning to breaking the cycle. They're big enough to support most bed feet without being annoying; they're strong enough to support a great deal of weight. In other words, as advertised. One star was deducted because I only received 7 pieces (but I only needed 6). I complement these things with the following (note that I have hardwood floors and five cats): 1) I spray the outside edges of the floor and the baseboards with EcoRaider 2) After the above dries, sprinkle the edges of the floor, inside these interceptors and under furniture with diatomaceous earth 3) Wash all bed linens in hot water 4) Spray the mattress and box spring with EcoRaider (i.e. the little darlings are probably nesting inside them) 5) Wrap the mattress and box spring in bedbug-proof encasements, which are sprayed with EcoRaider 6) Spray all bed linens with EcoRaider. I do so until everything is quite damp (damp but not soaked) 7) Repeat spraying all bed linens every two days for at least two weeks 8) Ensure that nothing from the bed (e.g. a quilt or blanket or the underside of a box spring encasement) touches the floor 9) Throw the pillows in the dryer on high for one hour daily for at least two weeks. If your pillows are down, that will likely ruin them. 10) Vacuum daily and dispose of the vacuum contents. ** The aforementioned works for me but may not for you. I use EcoRaider because a. It works (i.e. I don't get bedbug bites); b. it's non-toxic; c. the cats hate the smell and stay out of the room. On the negative side: a. I don't like its strong smell of cedar and eucalyptus; b. it's expensive and you're going to need a lot of it.

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 bought these for all the beds in my house after we found some bedbugs in one of our children's beds (presumably from a recent hotel stay). These traps have been great for catching bugs that we missed during our initial cleaning. They hold up well under the weight of various bed frame styles, including the extra weight of a bunk bed. We did add some diatomaceous earth in the outer ring of the trap, so that any bugs that might have been lucky enough to escape would still end up dying of dehydration. After two days, we haven't seen any more signs of bedbugs, so I would say these work great. If you do end up with bed bugs, I highly recommend Mark Rober's YouTube video about how to get rid of them in your own house. These traps and some diatomaceous earth will do most of the work for you!

Description is mis-leading. For mice and rats only, not bugs. Really Cheaply made. Weighs nothing, and gets knocked off target area easily. One mode you can select is great for driving human beings away. Can't see the purpose of it. Wouldn't buy it again.

Great quality. My bed headboard frame is very heavy wood and is square. So headboard posts don’t fit in the cup. But it still seems to work well. The footboard posts do fit nicely. White color makes it Easy to see bugs and spiders etc. Helps to slide the bed also.

The bedposts did not fit into the Bed Bug Blocker! Even though they measured 3 inches, and the bedpost is 3 inches, the bedpost hung way over the rim. You need to purchase the next size up, which Amazon does not stock!

I bought this 8-piece bed bug interceptor set and it’s one of the smartest purchases I’ve made. The quality is solid and it easily supports my bed without any issues. Installation was super simple—just place them under each bed leg and you’re done. I like that it’s completely chemical-free and safe to use at home. What I really appreciate is the peace of mind it gives. It helps monitor and stop bed bugs from climbing onto the bed, which is very important if you want to stay protected. Overall, a simple but very effective product. Highly recommended for anyone who wants extra protection and better sleep!

J’ai placé cela à titre préventif, j’ai mis de terre de diatomée et je me dis que si un jour ces punaises de lit s’aventurent chez moi, elles seront mortes avant de pouvoir se nourrir 😜

Tengo poco usando el producto pero llegaron muy bien con calidad.

No he visto bichos atrapados pero la calidad parece correcta

Bon produit et efficace
