Bed Bug Interceptor Diy

Bed bug interceptors are a valuable tool for preventing an infestation. According to the National Pest Management Association, 64 percent of Americans worry about catching bed bugs from hotel beds. Building your own DIY bed bug interceptor is a great way to protect yourself from these pests.

A DIY bed bug interceptor is a plastic dish with some type of sticky layer (such as double sided tape) at the bottom which sits beneath each leg of your mattress or furniture and traps crawling insects. When used correctly, it can detect signs of an infestation before it gets too severe and allow you to take steps to eliminate them quickly and effectively.

When creating your DIY bed bug interceptor use non-toxic materials that won't harm humans or pets. The most common materials include large plastic dishes with double sided tape around the edges or olive oil mixed with vegetable oil. Check these materials regularly - usually every two weeks - for signs of an infestation so you can monitor effectively.

Other preventative measures include vacuuming often, avoiding bedroom clutter, and using high quality encasements on mattresses which can help stop any possible infestations from occurring in the first place. Creating DIY bed bug interceptors is one of the most cost effective ways to catch potential problems early on while providing peace of mind and protection!
