BedBugAlert traps are designed to trap bed bugs in your bedposts, mattresses, box springs and couches. The Bed Bug Traps are safe for children & pets to use in your home. They are made of a non toxic Isopropyl alcohol that lures bed bugs into the trap with their pheromone scent. This natural lure attracts male and female bed bugs including their babies! Perfect for any bed. This light weight, low profile trap is 7″ long and 1 1/2″ wide. It will fit between any slats or across any posts. The back of our trap is smooth to slide over bed frame without catching on the wood. These traps work great because the bugs get stuck in it when they try getting back into their harborage (your mattress). Bed Bug traps for bed posts and furniture easily help detect potential bed bug activity. Inspection is as easy as looking for captured bed bugs inside the trap. Bed bugs are hard to find and tougher to kill.
Bed Bug Traps For Bed Posts
Introduction
Bed bugs are a major and growing problem all around the world. If you suspect that you may have them, don’t panic. And don’t sleep on the couch until you can afford to call an exterminator. Instead, arm yourself with knowledge and set up some bed bug traps to see if they’re actually there or not.
Step 1: Wrap the paper plate in tape (sticky side up, obviously).
First, you’ll need to get out your tape. The key here is to find a tape that will stick to itself and the bed post while not being too sticky itself. You don’t want the paper plate falling off before it has a chance to trap any bed bugs, but you also don’t want it sticking so well that you have trouble removing it later on.
The best thing to do is probably go with some masking tape or painters’ tape—both of these are easy enough to tear apart when you’re done with them (a little scissors work will remove any small threads). These kinds of tapes tend not to leave residue behind on surfaces or clothing when removed; however, if this is an issue for your family members or roommates then there’s no harm in using duct tape instead: just make sure there aren’t any pieces left behind after removal!
Step 2: Place a small bowl, water bottle cap, or similar vessel inside the paper plate.
The bowl should be small enough to fit inside the paper plate and deep enough to hold water. It should also be wide enough to fit a bed bug, which is about 1/4 inch in length. A smooth, flat surface that won’t absorb water is important too (you don’t want your trap getting soggy), so glass or plastic are good options. Finally, go with something non-porous like stainless steel or ceramic if possible—you don’t want any food particles getting stuck inside the bowl!
Step 3: Fill it with 1/4 cup of water.
- Begin by filling the trap with 1/4 cup of water.
- You can use either plain water, or a mixture of half water and half vinegar. Bed bugs are attracted to the smell of food, and they will be drawn to the scent of the liquid in your trap.
- Use either a small bowl, or a bottle cap from a plastic bottle that has been washed out well and dried (you can use an old soda bottle cap if you have one lying around).
- If you’d like to make this more permanent and reusable, try using a small container like an old spice jar or baby wipes container–or even just an empty plastic baggie! Just make sure it’s not made from materials that will melt under high heat (like PVC piping).

Bed posts are the worst place to keep your keys or phone.
Bed posts are where bed bugs love to hide.
The last thing you want to do is put something important like your keys or phone on a bed post, because it’s the first place bed bugs will crawl when they enter a room. Put your trap right there, instead!
Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide, so the closer you can get to head level, the better.
Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide, so the closer you can get to head level, the better. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air. Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide in the air at head level in a bed.
Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide in the air at head level in a bed, which is why it’s so important that you place your traps under your mattress; as they’re an effective way of driving away these pesky insects from your home.
At night, bed bugs will crawl out of their hiding places and wander around looking for food.
As the sun sets and temperatures cool, bed bugs will emerge from hiding in your mattress to search for a host. They are attracted to carbon dioxide, warmth and movement—in that order. If you’re sitting still and not breathing heavy, they won’t know you’re there. The same can be said if you’re snoring loudly or moving around too much—they’ll figure there’s no use trying to feed on someone who’s already dead (or at least on their way).
Bed bugs are also attracted to light sources like street lamps or even flashlights shining into your window at night so it’s best not to leave any lights on when sleeping as a precautionary measure against attracting these pesky insects into your home.
And lastly but not leastly, some people believe that bed bugs are drawn towards our exhaled breath because we exhale carbon dioxide which provides them with an easy meal source!
If they enter your trap, the paper plate will stick to them.
If a bed bug enters the trap, it will drown in the water. The paper plate will stick to the bed bug and remain attached to its body after death, making it easier to remove from your home.
Bed bug traps are simple to make with things you have lying around your house
If you want to make your own bed bug traps, it’s important to know what attracts them. Bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide and the smell of humans, so if you sleep with your window open or leave a light on in a room where bugs are present, they may come inside. They’re also attracted to food or any other source of heat, so leaving a dirty dish on the kitchen table overnight is asking for trouble. If you have pets, consider that they could be bringing home some unwanted guests from their walkies! Finally, blood is an effective attractant for these tiny critters; try keeping any small cuts covered up before going to bed at night!
Conclusion
Bed bug traps are a simple way to get rid of these pests for free, but they are not foolproof. You will still need to use other methods as well, such as pesticides and vacuums, to exterminate the bugs from your home or apartment completely.
