It hurts when bed bugs bite: Although they have to pierce your skin to access your blood – which they feed on for several minutes, accessing any area of the body they can find – they do this mainly while you’re sleeping. Just ensure you tackle the surrounding areas first, or the bed bugs will just move from the old mattress to the replacement. Physical barriers: Passive traps usually consist of a shallow tray or container with smooth walls that bed bugs have difficulty climbing. The traps have rough areas to let bed bugs enter easily, and a smooth-surfaced moat that keeps them from escaping. Bed bugs are attracted to sugar and carbon dioxide because it creates a scent similar to what draws the bugs to us.Scarier still, even if bed bugs don’t get access to your blood, they can survive for up to a year, which makes eradicating them all the more difficult. Preparing for treatment is very important; it will make it easier to monitor for bed bugs that haven't been eliminated.

The eggs could be in baseboards, wall outlets, folds in wallpaper, a box spring, and any other hard to spot locations. If you want to treat your mattress and keep it, spray an aerosol can of bed bug treatment (see recommendations below) directly onto the mattress.

Although they may not be as effective as professional bed bug traps, DIY traps can be a cheap and quick way to mitigate a bed bug infestation and identify the difference between insect species.If you use one of those direct sprays, then "a few weeks later you have to go back to check to see if any eggs are hatched, then you have to do a second treatment," she says.

Pheromone traps, like CO2 traps, are designed to attract bed bugs and help in the detection of an early infestation. These traps are set beneath each leg of your bed or other upholstered furniture, creating a barrier between the floor and your bed. One way of catching them is to use the pitfall type of bed bug traps like the bed bug interceptor; it goes under your bedposts. One of the best ways to prevent bed bugs from getting on your bed is to use interceptor traps on your bed posts. Just make sure you have a bright flashlight to shine on the interceptor traps every other day to see if they caught any bed bugs!The white bed bug interceptor traps allow you to see inside the well more straightforwardly than black ones. For the next 6-8 hours, the bucket will produce low levels of CO2 that will lure bed bugs toward it.
