Bed bugs are nasty little critters that can make your life, and the lives of all living in your house, hell. I have a couple of friends who have experienced infestation and from what I have seen they were incredibly difficult to eradicate. Fortunately, there is a way to stop these bloodsucking fiends: You can buy one of several types of Bed Bug Monitoring Devices. However, there are so many to choose from that you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by these options. Bed bug monitoring devices have become the new standard in bed bug detection. At BuggedOut, we use these devices to find pests that disturb your sleep. Having an infestation of bed bugs can be an incredibly stressful time. Not only are they blood-sucking parasites that cause rashes, wounds, and allergic reactions, but they are also notoriously difficult to treat. You could spend hundreds on different treatments, and still not manage to eradicate the problem — not to mention your landlord is likely also charging you a health fee!

Bed Bug Monitoring Devices

Interceptors

Interceptors are the best way to monitor for bed bugs in your home. They work by catching and killing any bed bugs that come across them, so you can tell whether or not there’s a problem.

How do interceptors work?

Interceptors are passive monitors because they don’t release any chemicals or attractants that draw bed bugs toward them, but instead wait for the insects to cross their path as they explore a room. When bed bugs come into contact with an interceptor, they get stuck on its adhesive surface and die from dehydration by being unable to reach water sources nearby (like human skin). The best part of interceptors is that there’s no maintenance required! Once installed correctly, all you have to do is check them occasionally for signs of activity—and if your monitoring system does catch some critters in action? Good news: these devices aren’t harmful in any way when used correctly!

Interception traps (passive monitors)

Interception traps are passive monitors. They are used in conjunction with other bed bug detection methods, such as visual inspection and thermal imaging. They are placed under bed legs to catch and retain adult bed bugs at a time when they are crawling up or down the furniture. If you suspect your home has an infestation of bed bugs, but you can’t see any evidence of them on your mattress—or if you want to prevent further infestations from occurring—interception traps can help keep these pests at bay by reducing their presence in your bedroom.

CO2 monitors

CO2 monitors are useful for detecting the presence of bed bugs, but they can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment. A CO2 attractant is placed in the unit, and a light will flash when it detects the presence of bed bugs. These devices are useful for large infestations or locations that are difficult to reach by hand.

Bed bug sniffing dogs

Dogs are trained using scent detection training and a positive reinforcement method. They’re highly accurate, fast, and good at finding live bed bugs.

Dogs can find bed bugs in hard to see places such as behind wall outlets or under baseboards.

ClimbUp monitoring devices

ClimbUp monitors are the most effective way to monitor for bed bugs. They can be used in conjunction with other monitoring devices, such as interceptors and sticky traps, or they can work on their own. These devices have a long shelf life and are inexpensive compared to traditional monitoring tools like glue boards and vacuums. They come in varying sizes that allow you to monitor different areas of your home or office at once.

ClimbUp monitors work by keeping bed bugs from climbing up or down into an area using plastic bristles that cling tightly to flat surfaces such as walls and ceilings when installed correctly (see instructions below).

Remote monitoring devices.

Remote monitoring devices. Remote monitoring devices are used to trap and contain bed bugs, which in turn allows you to monitor and detect bed bug activity. They are not a stand-alone solution however, as they need to be paired with other methods of control such as heat treatments or vacuuming in order to kill the insects.

Depending on where you live, this type of device may not be legalised against non-stinging insects such as cockroaches or termites – so ask your local council if it’s okay before buying one for yourself!

Knowing which bed bug monitor you should use is vital to doing a complete bed bug treatment.

The first step in knowing which bed bug monitor to use is to know the different types of bed bug monitors that are used.

There are two main types of bed bug monitors: passive and active.

Passive monitors include sticky traps, glue boards, and interceptors. They attract and capture bed bugs without harming them or their eggs by using a sticky substance that holds onto the pests as they come into contact with it.

Active monitors emit an odorless gas that attracts any nearby active bed bugs within a few feet of its location. These devices can be plugged into outlets throughout your home so you can monitor multiple rooms at once without having to go room-to-room looking for live bugs yourself!

Using these devices properly will help you make sure all areas of your property have been covered during treatment efforts—so no matter where you place them (or how many), make sure they’re being used correctly so nothing slips through the cracks!
