Harris Bed Bug Traps for Early Detection & Monitoring, 4 Pack

I travel for work and despite all the precautions I take (checking the room before bringing anything inside, not putting my bag on the floor or bed, and all sorts of other stuff) but still somehow still ended up with these damn things in our house. Fortunately we realized we had them before the infestation spread beyond the one room. I wish there’s was a trap that could be baited or a poison they could eat and bring back to a nest but no such luck. Lots of spraying followed by a good cleaning, along with encasing the box springs and mattress in a protective cover (with lots of powered) helped. I’ve read several reviews concerning the stickiness, or lack there of but I didn’t have any problems with bugs sticking. Once we eliminated those we could we used these traps to monitor the eradication efforts and progress. The first one I used I set it up as instructed, and although it wasn’t difficult I decided to tear off the flaps on the remaining ones. By removing the flaps I was able to view them without picking them up to see if any bugs were stuck to the glue area. These aren’t traps, meaning they’re not going to eliminate the bugs or rid your home of these nightmarish creatures. The only thing these “traps” do is to let you know you haven’t rid yourself of all of them yet.

Really worked ! Put them by radiator and caught a lot of the little creeps

got these because we got bedbugs from somewhere. We placed them all around the bed and furniture. Good for catching spiders for sure. Sucks when you step on one barefooted. Very sticky...

These glue traps did not work for their intended purpose. I placed them as directed in multiple locations where early detection would matter, and they did not catch or indicate anything at all. In terms of use and ease of use, they are simple to set out, but simplicity does not help when there are no results. The design and appearance are basic and unobtrusive, which is fine, but they also feel flimsy and cheaply made. Effectiveness is the main problem. They did not provide any indication of activity, which defeats the purpose of an early detection product. The adhesive did not seem strong enough to reliably trap anything, making the traps feel unreliable. From a safety standpoint, there is nothing concerning, but there is also nothing reassuring about using a product that does not perform. There was no noticeable smell, which is a positive, but again, that does not compensate for lack of function. Overall, these traps did not provide peace of mind or useful information. Because they did not work as intended, I would not purchase them again or recommend them.

Definitely for early detection so you know to take more aggressive measures. They are basically like fly paper but in a folded thin cardboard tent, which you fold. Caught some early stage bed bugs when put under furniture. But no indication of the size of the problem.

Excelente

Did not work. Continue to have bed bugs and this didn't catch a single one. It was also weirdly hard to assemble.

Perfect catches bugs

Si las atrapa pero es cuestión de que pasen por ahí hasta otros bichos agarra

Very good

Sorry about the last reveiw in which I said it did not catch any bed bugs at all. Now I saw there was one BB was being glued - so I guess it worked afterall, after placing it there for about 10 days.

No es lo que esperaba, las hubiera devuelto si no las hubiera abierto y roto el empaque. Son demasiado pequeñas. Solo podría atrapar chinches si de casualidad pasan por ahí, pero jamás podría exterminarlas. Yo las quería para la base de las patas de la cama, pero son tan pequeños los parches que no me sirvieron para nada.
