Lab Testing & Effectiveness
Getting the right bed bug detection device to protect your home shouldn’t be a trial-and-error process. Lab testing provides concrete evidence as to which products are most effective, and whether they’ll work at all.
To date, there have been no documented lab tests to measure the effectiveness of the Bed Bug Alert Passive Monitor. The trap only works if bed bugs find it and adopt it as their primary hiding place, but there is no evidence that it works on a consistent basis.
Bed Bug Plug™ has been proven in research to be the most effective product for attracting and capturing bed bugs.
In a study at Rutgers University, Bed Bug Plug caught 53% of present bed bugs within the 18-hour time period, while other products caught none at all.
Trap Method
The Bed Bug Alert Passive Monitor is a rectangular card-like container with small crevices. When placed behind your bed, it hopes to provide a dark, tight space for bed bugs to hide. This is entirely dependent on the bed bugs finding the device and liking it enough to move in.
Bed Bug Plug™ uses heat technology to mimic the feel of sleeping humans. To bed bugs, this appears as just another place to eat a delicious meal. When bed bugs crawl deep inside the trap, they’re captured on their back (as opposed to their legs), making it impossible for them to escape.
Instead of buying a product that makes you think, “I hope this works”, get an early detection device that is tested and proven to be effective. Get Bed Bug Plug™ today!
Capturing Bed Bugs for Identification
When you capture an insect in your early detection device, you’ll want to know exactly what is! Although insects and bed bugs may be found periodically within the Bed Bug Alert Passive Monitor, the device doesn’t actively capture the bed bugs to ensure you can pass them on to a professional for proper ID.
Bed Bug Plug™, on the other hand, ensures that bugs can’t escape by utilizing an internal sticky trap at the top of the device- capturing bed bugs on their back. This makes it a simple task to pass bugs on for identification and treatment.
