Monitor first.
Act with evidence.

A good trap answers a clear question. Is there activity, where is it moving, and is your treatment working? This site helps you pick a trap that can answer it.

Compare six listings ↓Why traps are not cures

White bed bug interceptor cups under the legs of a black metal bed frame. — Correct setup Each bed leg sits centrally in a clean interceptor with no bedding touching the floor.

!

Detection is not eradication.

Interceptors and monitors can reveal activity and support follow-up. However, an empty trap does not prove a room is clear. Therefore, a retail trap should never replace a proper treatment plan once you confirm an infestation.

Choose the route you can monitor

Three product formats, three different jobs

Each format answers a different question. First, decide where the bugs are likely to travel. Then pick the trap that suits that spot, because the best product in the wrong place tells you nothing.

01 · Under-leg

Interceptors

First, these turn each furniture leg into a monitored route. They are usually the clearest first choice for beds with suitable feet.

How they work →02 · Attractant

Lure monitors

Instead, these use a replaceable cue or bait near a suspected hiding spot. They help when under-leg cups do not fit your furniture.

Compare lure types →03 · Supplementary

Sticky monitors

These are simple route checks. However, their design and placement strongly affect what they catch.

At a glance

Match the format to the room

The table below sums up the trade-offs. For example, interceptors need suitable furniture legs, while lure monitors do not. Use it to shortlist a format before you open any listing.

Bed bug monitor format comparison
Format	Needs furniture legs?	Consumable?	Most useful for	Main limitation
Interceptor	Yes	Usually reusable	Occupied beds and chairs	Alternative bridges bypass it
Lure monitor	No	Often a refill lure	Near likely harbourages	Expiry and placement matter
Sticky monitor	No	Yes	Supplementary route checks	Can miss activity and catch lookalikes

Placement sequence

A good trap in the wrong place is still the wrong trap.

Open the full setup guide →

01Measure
First, check the widest point of every furniture foot. Also check the space around it.
02Isolate
Next, remove bedding, cables and wall contact. Otherwise, each one can create another route.
03Label
Also, give every position a code. Then record the placement date.
04Verify
Finally, keep any suspected catch. Then have the specimen identified.

Research-backed restraint

What the evidence supports

Peer-reviewed

Interceptors are established monitoring tools

For example, researchers have used pitfall-style interceptors to detect and count bed bugs. They also used them to track low-level infestations in occupied apartments.

Design matters

Sticky surfaces do not work in isolation

However, researchers found that surface roughness changed whether bugs approached adhesive. It also changed whether they became trapped.

Read the open-access paper ↗

Attractants vary

Lure and CO₂ release rate affect catch

In addition, experiments show that active monitors depend on the trap and the lure. Carbon-dioxide release conditions matter too.

Confirmed activity?

Ask for a professional inspection

If a monitor confirms bed bugs, or you keep finding signs you cannot explain, a trained technician is the next step. Fill in this form and we pass your enquiry to a pest control professional covering your area. We do not set prices or make promises on their behalf.

Not sure what you have found yet? Start with our guide to the signs of bed bugs. Next, measure your bed legs before you buy an interceptor. You can also learn what to expect from a professional bed bug inspection, or browse every article on our bed bug blog.
