Bed Bug Pheromone Diffusers have been used for years throughout the US to effectively eliminate and prevent bedbugs in your home. Bedbugs are parasitic insects that feed off of humans, coming out at night to secretly bite or scratch exposed skin. Over time, bed bugs cause skin damage as well as secondary infections from bacteria and viruses, including hepatitis C. They leave behind dark stains from excrement on mattresses, sheets, clothes and walls. If you see small black spots that look like coffee grounds it may be a sign of an infestation or possible bites from bed bugs. Bed bugs are small sucking insects and have been known to inhabit dwellings since the Cretaceous period. There are many different kinds of bed bugs and they reside in cracks that cannot be seen by human eyes. They feed on human blood, but will eat you alive before they starve. Bed Bug Pheromone is one means of trapping them. This is one of the most useful device for catching them.
Bed Bug Pheromone
Pheromone traps are designed to attract the bed bugs who are in search of a blood meal.
Pheromone traps are designed to attract the bed bugs who are in search of a blood meal. When you place these traps along your baseboards, under cabinets, behind furniture and inside drawers, you will be able to monitor the progress of your infestation.
The pheromones attract male bed bugs and make them come closer to the trap where they can be easily captured by glue or other sticky surfaces. It is important that you place these traps in areas where people do not go often so as not to accidentally capture any human fingers that may come into contact with the trap
Pheromone traps can be used to monitor and prevent an infestation in your home.
When you find bed bugs in your home, pheromone traps can be used to monitor and prevent an infestation. When you find them, place the pheromone trap near the spot where they were found. The trap should be placed on a flat surface at least 6 inches away from any walls or other objects that could block its ability to attract bedbugs.
After about 48 hours, check if there are any bedbugs inside the trap. If there are no insects in it after two weeks of checking it daily then it’s likely that no more will appear. You may also want to put another trap further away from your home to see if there’s another population somewhere else outside of your property
Bed bugs do not form mating aggregations through pheromones.
You may have heard that bed bugs form mating aggregations through pheromones, and this is a common misconception. Pheromones are chemical signals that are released by one animal and detected by another animal of the same species. In insects, pheromones communicate a variety of information such as where food is, where a nest is, and which nest belongs to them.
Bed bugs do not use pheromones to communicate in this way; they do not form mating aggregations through pheromone emissions. The term “aggregation” refers to the grouping together of multiple individuals in close physical proximity with each other (usually males during mating). Bed bug mating occurs during the night when both sexes are active on a host or in close proximity after feeding on hosts over time (as opposed to being restricted only at dusk).
Pheromone traps CANNOT be used as a sole source of detection and control.
Pheromone traps can be an effective tool in detecting and monitoring bed bug populations, but are not a substitute for proper treatment. They should not be used as a sole source of detection and control.
The pheromone (chemical lure) is only one part of the infestation; there are other factors involved in bed bug activity that need to be considered when using these devices. The effectiveness of pheromone traps depends on how well they are constructed, how frequently they are checked, where they are placed and what type of bait is used.
Males are attracted because they are searching for a mate.
When males are attracted to pheromones, it is because they are in search of a female to mate with. The pheromone is a chemical that animals release that affects the behavior of members of their own species. In bed bugs, bed bug pheromones cause males to become excited and more active as they search for females.
The female produces no such scent and therefore does not attract any males. She also has her eggs tucked away deep within her body cavity and is not eaten by the male after mating so she doesn’t need to avoid being eaten once she has mated with him!
Pheromones can help you know if you have bed bugs and how best to get rid of them
Pheromones are an effective way to attract bed bugs. Pheromone traps can be placed in areas that are hard to inspect, such as behind baseboards and along walls where bed bugs would be hiding or nesting. You can also use pheromones to monitor population levels of bed bugs over time. If you find that your trap has captured more than one male per week, it’s possible you have an infestation and should call a professional pest control company for help in eliminating the problem.
