NC State University Beating Bed Bugs
September 8, 2011 | 
Author www.ncsu.edu Entomologist Dr. Coby Schal is all about the bed bugs. He raises them in the lab and occasionally hand (or arm) feeds them by letting them drink his blood. But all of this pampering has a purpose: He’s trying to develop a simple bed bug control system that attracts the bugs by mimicking humans, then eradicates them. Schal hopes that his invention will ensure that when bed bugs check into a hotel or your home, they won’t check out.

Climbup Insect Interceptor Bed Bug Trap, 12ct
Climbup Insect Interceptors are a unique and easy-to-use monitoring system to aid in the early detection of bed bug infestations. These specially designed plastic cups are pesticide-free and are coated with a thin layer of talc which makes them too slick for the bugs to crawl out. Bugs approaching the bed (or other furniture) from the floor will fall into the outer well while bed bugs leaving the bed will get stuck in the center well. Allows early detection for bed bugs and also aids in protecting furniture from reinfestation.
