Bed Bug Bed Post Trap

These bed bug bed post traps are an easy way to detect bed bugs on your bed.

These bed bug bed post traps are an easy way to detect bed bugs on your bed.

If you ever find yourself in need of a bed bug detection trap, you can use these instructions to make one from materials you already have around the house. It’s cheap, it’s simple, and it works really well!

It’s important to note that this trap is not as effective at detecting both live adult or nymphal (juvenile) stages of the insect as others on the market. However, many people still find this type of trap useful for detecting other aspects of infestation such as fecal matter and shed skins left behind by breeding insects.

You don’t have to worry about buying expensive replacement traps or calling in a professional.

There are many benefits of using bed bug bed post traps. The first is that they are easy to make and inexpensive. This trap can be made by anyone, regardless of their carpentry skills or tools available at home. If a person wants to use this trap in more than one room, they don’t have to worry about buying expensive replacement traps or calling in a professional. Once you have learned how to build them yourself, you’ll know exactly what went into it so that if there’s ever an issue with its effectiveness (as unlikely as that may be), you’ll know what needs adjusting!

You can also use this trap to detect if you’re bringing bed bugs into a new apartment.

You can also use this trap to detect if you’re bringing bed bugs into a new apartment. Place the trap in your bedroom, turn on all of the lights, and leave for several hours without returning to the room. If you see any evidence of bed bug activity within 12-24 hours, it’s likely that you’ve brought them with you from an infested location.

If the bed post trap has captured no bed bug nymphs or adults after 24 hours: Your home may be free of adult bed bugs! The chances that they’re still hanging out somewhere are slim—but don’t lose hope just yet!

If the bed post trap has captured at least one adult female after 24 hours: This doesn’t mean that your home is infested with more than one immature female per week—it just means that there’s one female who hides (and lays eggs) in obscure places like inside furniture or under floorboards instead of on furniture legs or picture frames near where humans sleep during the night (which would make sense considering these areas aren’t very accessible). You should continue monitoring until no more live adults appear in subsequent traps (or until their numbers drop drastically over time).

Materials needed:

Materials needed:

• A box
• Scissors or a box cutter (to cut holes)
• A match or lighter (to burn the ends of the paperclips)

How much it will cost: Not much! You probably already have most of these things in your home and can get the rest for less than $20.

Tape measure

A tape measure is an essential tool for any homeowner. If you’re not familiar with how it works, there are a few basic things to know about this handy device.

First of all, a tape measure measures length—the size of a space or object. You can use it to measure the height of your mattress or the width of your gift box. It can also be used to measure other things like walls and doors if they’re too tall for you to reach!

Pencil and paper

Now that you have all the materials and tools, it is time to make the bed post trap. The first thing you will need to do is take a pencil and paper and draw the shape of your bed post so that it can be cut out with scissors. This will tell us how much foil we need, where to position it on the rod, etc.

Aluminum foil (or plastic wrap)

• Aluminium foil (or plastic wrap)
• Cooking oil spray

Cooking oil spray (olive oil, coconut oil, etc.)

Cooking oil spray is a great alternative to using cooking oil. The spray will cover both sides of the bed post and make it harder for bed bugs to climb up. However, if any do manage to crawl up and through your trap, they will be unable to escape once they reach the top because of all the cooking oil on top of them!

Just make sure you don’t spray too much so that it doesn’t clog up your trap!

Scissors or knife (for cutting the foil)

Use a sharp blade to cut the foil. You’ll know you’re using a good blade if it cuts cleanly through the foil without fraying or tearing. Don’t use your good scissors that you bought at Walgreens because they’ll get ruined and then you’ll have to buy another pair of scissors. If you do not have any scissors or knives, use a pair of pliers instead.

Cardboard gift box that is slightly taller than your mattress height (e.g., a shirt box)

The cardboard gift box should be slightly taller than your mattress height. You can use any type of cardboard box, such as a shirt box or small moving box. The important thing is that it is taller than your mattress.

If you’re worried about bringing home bed bugs when you move into a new apartment, this trap will help you catch them before they spread.

If you’re worried about bringing bed bugs home when you move into a new apartment, this trap will help you catch them before they spread.

Bed bugs can be hard to detect because they’re small and often go unnoticed until their numbers are large enough to cause noticeable bites and rashes. In addition, bed bugs often hide in cracks and crevices during the day while they wait for nightfall to begin feeding on their host’s blood. A quick inspection won’t necessarily reveal if there are any present in your apartment or not—especially if your landlord isn’t very thorough with pest control measures (a common scenario).

That’s why it’s important to get rid of any furniture that has been in storage for an extended period of time before moving into your new place so that it doesn’t harbor unwanted pests like bed bugs!
