Passive vs. Active Trapping
The SenSci Volcano Bed Bug Detector, like any other bed bug interceptor, is a device that passively captures bed bugs if – and only if – they happen upon it. Volcano devices are placed throughout the room near the legs of your bed or the corners of rooms or dressers. With luck (and only luck!), the bed bugs will climb into the device and become trapped inside.
Bed Bug Plug™ actively lures and captures bed bugs by simulating a sleeping human to attract bed bugs to it and away from you. Using a soft heat, Bed Bug Plug™ lures bed bugs deep into the trap, where they are deftly snared by a sticky glue pad on the inside.
With the Volcano Bed Bug Detector, you never know if you just don’t have bed bugs or if your traps are just placed in the wrong locations. With Bed Bug Plug™ you can be sure that if you have bed bugs, they will be detecting quickly and reliably. Get a Bed Bug Plug™ today!
Patented Design & Lab Testing
We know you want the best defense available for your home. A patented and lab-tested product has been proven to effectively detect bed bugs before they become a major problem.
To date, the Volcano Bed Bug Detector has no current or pending patents. However, SenSci does offer a patented lure that you can purchase separately and use in combination with the device. In their own study, SenSci has noted that the lure increases the effectiveness of the device, but only for about 30 days, and the increase is not significant. In fact, in the study the Volcano only showed a slight increase in captured bed bugs with the lure in half the tests, and significantly lower capture rates without the lure overall.
Bed Bug Plug™’s dual-patent approach to luring and capturing bed bugs has been thoroughly tested by entomology experts in a lab with astounding results. Experts involved in the study concluded that Bed Bug Plug™ was the most effective device tested in the study.
