It's not always easy to know exactly when you get bed bugs, but the best way to beat a bed bug infestation is to catch it early. Manual inspections aren't always an accurate way to determine if you have an infestation, and waiting until bite marks appear isn’t enough since they don’t appear for everyone and when they do, it’s actually a few days after the feeding occurred before you see or feel a bite.

That's where active bed bug monitors come in: these are simple devices that use heat and/or chemicals to draw bed bugs out of hiding by imitating a human host. This is especially effective in unoccupied rooms, when a real host isn't available for bed bugs to feed on. The problem is that many of these monitors aren’t consistently effective, and the ones that are tend to be pretty expensive and difficult to use, especially over a long period of time. They also haven’t been very easy to blend into your home in the past — the monitors professionals have been using up to now look like something serious is going on. Thankfully, we now have the Bed Bug Plug.

Unlike other bed bug monitoring systems, the Bed Bug Plug is designed to be easy to use and to blend in with a home or hotel environment. The Bed Bug Plug combines a lab-tested and proven heating solution with a sticky glue trap in a single, compact device that can be powered by a wall outlet. In three different tests conducted by top entomologists at Rutgers University, the Bed Bug Plug was more effective than other top traps on the market by a huge margin. The unique heating solution built into the device and the reliable trap installed right up against it really works.

There’s nothing else available today that’s quite like the Bed Bug Plug. No other active monitoring solution is as affordable, effective, and easy to use long-term, and the fact that the Bed Bug Plug so easily hides in plain sight is just a cherry on top. For any sort of long-term bed bug monitoring in a home or hotel room, the Bed Bug Plug is a no-brainer.

The bed bug plug is available in a Discreet (No branding visible) version, which is very popular for hotels as they can be setup on the back of night stands and plugged into the wall without any markings or logos, which would indicate to the guest what it's intended purpose of the device is. The bed bug plug has been deployed at hotel chains across the country offering each property a way to detect bed bugs quickly before it becomes a problem reducing guest complaints, bad reviews and refunds.
