Bed bugs are nasty and hard to get rid of. However, many people forget that bed bug interceptors work … and they work well! What Are Bed Bug Interceptors? Bed bug interceptor cups fit on the legs of bed-making perfect hiding places for the bugs to crawl into. There are several types available. Some have perforations in them, others have a sticky texture, and some are fitted with a solid membrane. All these variations make one clear point: bed bug interceptors really do work! What are bedbug interceptors? Anyone who has ever had a question regarding bedbugs knows that they are a popular topic in the world of pest control and to homeowners who have been unfortunate enough to have them invade their homes. In reality, bedbugs are not as much of a worry to most people because they seldom do any harm – except when they feed on you of course. Bed Bug Interceptors work by attracting and trapping bed bugs inside sealed interceptor cups, which are replaceable traps that hold captured bugs. Interceptors can be used on beds in homes, apartments, dormitories, hospitals, and hotels.

How To Make Bed Bug Interceptors

Introduction

This is a step-by-step guide on how to make your own bed bug interceptors.

Bed bug interceptors are small, inexpensive devices that are used to detect the presence of bed bugs.

Bed bug interceptors are small, inexpensive devices that are used to detect the presence of bed bugs. They are mainly used by pest management professionals (PMPs) but can also be purchased by home and business owners who want to monitor their bed bug interceptor traps in order to prevent infestations before they happen.

They are used mainly by pest management professionals (PMPs) as part of their regular inspections.

Bed bug interceptors are one of the most effective tools used by pest management professionals (PMPs) to identify areas where bed bugs are present. PMPs place the interceptor under each piece of furniture and in other areas where they suspect bed bugs may be hiding such as behind baseboards, electrical outlets, picture frames and many other places. If a bed bug is present in the room, it will crawl into the trap to feed and spend its entire life cycle inside without any contact with humans or animals. Once caught inside, PMPs can then inspect the contents for evidence that would help them determine if there is an active infestation or not.

Bed bug interceptors are also valuable tools for homeowners and business owners who want to check their homes or offices for signs of bed bugs without having professionals come out on site every time they need assistance finding evidence that might indicate an infestation has occurred somewhere within their building structure. For example: If someone notices bites on themselves after sleeping at a friend’s house over night then using one of these devices could provide peace-of-mind knowing whether or not there was an actual problem caused by insects living somewhere inside their home instead of just assuming everything was okay because no critters were visible anywhere near their personal belongings!

They can also be used by home and business owners to determine if their building is infested with bed bugs.

Bed bug interceptors are not a replacement for a thorough inspection, but they can be used to monitor an area for signs of an infestation. They are an inexpensive way to monitor for bed bugs and can also be used as a detection tool if you suspect there are only a few bed bugs in your home or business.

Bed bug interceptors work by trapping bed bugs as they try to get into and out of the legs of your sofa or bed.

Bed bugs are attracted to dark places where they can hide. They will climb up the legs of a bed or sofa and then use the furniture as a hiding place. Bed bugs are most active at night, which makes them hard to detect during the day. Bed bug interceptors keep these pests away from your sleeping area by trapping them in one place until you can easily dispose of them later.

The simplest way to make an effective interceptor is from an upside down cup with a piece of double-sided tape around it.

The simplest way to make an effective interceptor is from an upside down cup with a piece of double-sided tape around it.

• The first step is to use a thick, heavy-duty cup with a narrow opening. You want it to be strong so that the bed bug won’t break through the bottom when crawling inside but you also want it to have enough space at the top for your bait.
• Put the cup on its side and place a piece of tape near the bottom of the cup (see picture 1). If you’re using double sided tape just put one piece on each side so that no part of your container is exposed or unprotected from glue or adhesive (see picture 2). If you’re using other kinds of glue or adhesives make sure they are completely covered by whatever material you choose.

Other homemade methods use cups with talcum powder at the bottom, which prevents bed bugs from climbing out once they fall in.

To make one of these, you’ll need:

• An empty cup (any size)
• Talcum powder
• A funnel and a straw or pipe cleaner to help pour it into the cup

Some people have had success with using a coffee cup lid with talcum powder on one side and double sided tape on other.

If you’d like to make an interceptor, use a coffee cup lid or other container and fill it with talcum powder. Next, put double sided tape on the outside of your container and close it up. You’ll want to place this device in your home near where bedbugs are suspected to be hiding (underneath furniture or between mattresses). They’ll crawl into the interceptors and get stuck there, unable to escape back out again. This can be very effective for getting rid of bedbugs, although researchers have found that if used alone they won’t completely solve the problem due to limited space inside each interceptor which makes it difficult for many bugs at once – they tend not to all end up inside at once but rather only one or two at a time instead!

Many ready-made versions are available for purchase online, including ones designed specifically for home use or commercial applications.

Ready-made interceptors are widely available for purchase online. They tend to have more features than homemade versions, including the ability to attract and trap bed bugs, and can be more convenient because they are pre-built. However, they are often more expensive than homemade interceptors and may not look as attractive in your home.

• The ClimbUp Interceptor is an example of a ready-made interceptor that has been designed specifically for home use or commercial applications like hotels, apartments and dorms where there’s a risk of encountering bed bugs during travel or moving into new premises near an infestation source. This unit includes two chambers: one at the bottom that contains glueboards (to attract bedbugs) and another at the top where you place items like pillows or discarded clothing so they get treated before being placed back into your home environment (which would otherwise risk contamination).

Bed bug interceptors are useful tools for detecting and controlling the pests.

Bed bug interceptors are useful tools for detecting and controlling the pests. In order to make one, you will need:

• A clean container that is large enough to hold your bed bug interceptor (any plastic tub or bucket will work). Make sure there are no holes in the tub/bucket, especially along the sides.
• A piece of cardboard that’s at least 4 inches longer than your container
