Climbup Insect Interceptor

This new product is installed under furniture legs, bed posts, or bed frame legs, and creates a barrier between the floor and the bed. Bed bugs approaching a bed from the floor of the room will climb up the rough exterior surface of the Climbup Interceptor from Susan McKnight Inc. and fall and be trapped in the outer ring. Bed bugs climbing down from the bed will be found trapped in the center well.

Each of the rings are treated with a fine layer of talc preventing captured bed bugs from getting a hold to climb out. The talc can even be reapplied at will easily with a cotton ball. This product can be an effective measuring and bed bug monitoring tool for identifying the presence of bed bugs in rooms even where low levels of bed bugs exist.

Used as a low-tech monitoring device in conjunction with an extermination protocol, it may be an effective monitoring option for many home owners and apartment dwellers. We've added some close up photos below so you can understand better how to use this product. Just make sure where you install the Insect Interceptor that you pull the bed away from the wall and tuck up bed coverings and sheets out of the way forcing the bugs to come an go via the Insect Interceptor covered route.
