Climbup Insect Interceptors are an essential tool to monitor and trap bed bugs. Attached to the legs of your bed, sofa, chair or other furniture, they prevent bed bugs from getting in or out. This can be especially helpful during an infestation as the sleeper can remain in the infested room once the bed has been treated and mattress covers applied. By staying in the room, bed bugs can be drawn out of cracks and crevices by the body heat we give off and the CO2 we naturally emit. As they move closer to the bed they will cross over the powders and sprays causing death or be trapped in the outer well of the interceptors.
Up until now, there was only one size of Climbup Insect Interceptors available, which would fit most frames, but not legs greater than 2 3/4" in diameter square or 3 3/4" round. With the new Climbup XL Insect Interceptors, legs of greater diameter will fit nicely inside the interceptors. The new inside dimensions of the Climbup XL Insect Interceptors are 5 1/2" x 7 1/4".
These new XL size interceptors will now allow most users to intercept their sofas, which up until was in most cases not possible. Using Climbup Insect Interceptors is extremely important during an infestation and can be used to monitor for any future bed bug infestations that may occur. Remember, bed bugs must feed to develop through all 5 stages of development. Climbup insect interceptors cut off the food supply and trap bed bugs making treatment more effective.
