Bed Bug Trap — 12 Pack | TruGuard X Bed Bug Interceptors | Eco Friendly Bed Bug Traps for Bed Legs | Reliable Insect Detector, Interceptor, and Monitor for Pest Control and Treatment (White)

This is an important part of my battle with the little bed bug monsters who found their way into my home.It’s important to read up on all of the different things you need to do in addition to using these specially designed coasters on the legs of every bed leg and couch and upholstered chairs in your home. Dust them with a bit of baby powder to make the surface even more slippery to ensure that the bed bugs can’t climb up and over not just one, but two, effective barriers to get to a human sitting on a piece of furniture protected by these.Again, study up- do not just throw out a mattress or couch and think your problem is solved; if you do this the bugs will just quickly disperse to other area in your house.I bought a box of 12 of these for the bed legs in my house, and they are helping me to defeat the unwelcome guests in my home. They do work at preventing most of the bed bugs from reaching people, but you must use an appropriate spray, too (following the directions), and you can’t think you won too early, because bed bugs can live a long time without a blood meal; there are a lot of other steps- putting all clothing in the dryer first and then seal them in airtight plastic bags, blow dry all around furniture in high heat, put clothing and or pillows in the freezer for a few days and then put them in airtight bags. Then spray again.Buy these. They are important to dramatically lessen the amount of bites you will get until you finally evict all of the creatures.

These traps were one easy and passive step in successfully ending a bedbugs infestation in my room. I used these, plus cleaning and sealing any unnecessary fabrics, keeping the bed away from the wall or touching anything they could climb up, a mattress cover and boxspring cover, and especially a fine layer of diatomaceous earth powder (which you need a full gas mask for to avoid lung damage) everywhere and inside these traps.I got two sets to put on both my bed legs, my night stand, the chair my cat sleeps on, and my gaming chair. (After I put them under my bed, I started getting bites at my chair, which stopped after I added these under the chair.)I am so happy I could get rid of bed bugs myself with persistence but not too much stress and without using toxic chemicals.

We encountered a bed bug at a hotel. I added these under beds at home for peace of mind and to watch for any hitchhikers. They are sturdy.

It seems sturdy enough. They arrived unbroken and unused and with the correct number of traps, unlike what others have posted. It also does not have adhesive inside which some purchasers were expecting but that is not the way these are supposed to work. The sides of the trough are supposed be be so steep and smooth that once bed bugs get in they can't climb out.The 4x4 dimension is misleading because they measured it at the top of the trough but it angles inward down to the bottom and also because the corners are chamfered which further reduces the opening for a square or rectangular post. My measurements indicate that the maximum size of a square post that will fit is 3-5/16", the max size for a round post is 3-11/16" diameter, and the max size for a rectangular post is 3-11/16"x2-15/16" [If the longer side of a rectangular post is less than 3-5/16" it will fit, if it is longer than that but less than 3-11/16" it will still fit if the shorter side is less than or equal to 3-5/16" minus the amount the longer side was over. Example: long side is 3-9/16" (which is +4/16"), then if short side is less than or equal to 3-1/16" it will fit.]

Works great

Didn't work at all.

If you are unfortunate to have these creatures you have learned that you need multiple layers of defense and have to implement lifestyle changes to combat them. I like the idea of these traps as these blood suckers do not like to crawl up plastic surfaces. The perimeter channel is a great idea and I took it to the next level by adding diatomacious earth inside the channel. The earth dries out the bugs and if they should make it past this line of defense they likely will not survive. The only problem I have with them is the width is large causing the to protrude past the edge of the bed. I stepped on the edge so many times and it is painful. I recommend the manufacturers round traps instead of the square if you plan to use them on the feet of your bed.

The last thing you want is bedbugs hiding in your bed or bedding!After surviving a problem brought by a new tenant in my grandaughter's big-city apartment building, these are great for giving her some peace and confidence that she is safe in her bed. We got her the white ones so she can see in there to check them out as often as she wants to do.Along with effective treatments to deal with the pests, these are a great safeguard from future issues. I wish we had found them sooner! Highy recommended for anyone living in a multi-unit building.
