Bed bugs get their name because they like to live and feed in beds.

Habits
Bed bugs like to travel and will hide in suitcases, boxes and shoes to be near a food supply. They are elusive, nocturnal creatures. They can hide behind baseboards, electrical switch plates, picture frames, even wall paper. They come out at night for a blood meal.

Habitat
Bed bugs like to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment. Bed bugs can be detected often by looking for black tracks on bedding, which are the bed bugs' fecal stains. (The stains show up best on white- or light-colored bedding, and may be more difficult to see on darker bedding.) They can be found behind baseboards, wallpaper, upholstery, and in furniture crevices.

Threats
Although bed bugs can dine on any warm-blooded animal, they primarily dine on humans. Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but their bites can become red, itchy welts.

 

Bed Bug Spray

Bed bugs can be found in All 50 States

Steri- Fab is the most effective Bed Bug Spray for Bed Bug Control and will get rid of and kill bed bugs.

Bed Bug Spray

Prevention
Vacuum suitcases after returning from a vacation. Check your bed sheets for tell-tale blood spots. Consider bringing a large plastic trash bag to keep your suitcase in during hotel stays. Carry a small flashlight to assist you with quick visual inspections. Never bring second-hand furniture, especially king size mattresses and box springs, into a home without thoroughly examining for signs of a bed bug infestation. You might consider having a pest control professional inspect the furniture as it is difficult to detect an infestation if you are untrained. Regularly inspect areas where pets sleep for signs of bed bugs. Bed bugs are elusive creatures, so it is imperative to seek professional pest control help to address a serious infestation.

Description:

Sterifab is the only Bed Bug Control product registered with EPA that is a disinfectant, insecticide, fungicide, germicide, sanitizer, viricide, deodorant, mildewcide, bactericide as well as bacteriostatic and fungistatic. Sterifab Bed Bug Spray offers a unique quality in the world of disinfectants: the added benefit of being both bactericidal and fungicidal, as well as being bacteriostatic and fungistatic. Sterifab kills bacteria and fungus and also inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungus after it dries. This unusual combination is also coupled with the fact that Sterifab is also an insecticide that will kill bed bugs, lice, dust mites, carpet beetles, ticks, roaches and other insects. Unlike disinfectants that need to be diluted with water, STERIFAB Bed Bug Spray requires no dilution, is non residual and dries in 15 to 20 minutes and is undetectable when dry. This ready-to-use Bed Bug Control product can be sprayed on most inanimate surfaces including, mattresses, pillows, upholstered furniture, drapes, walls, floors, carpets, ceramics and more. STERIFAB Bed Bug Spray does NOT contain any perfume, dyes, or harsh solvents. STERIFAB has become popular in many commercial companies and government institutions. It is required by many states prior to the rental of bedding and upholstered furniture. It is effective against most gram negative and gram positive bacteria. It kills many types of insects, fungus, mold and mildew, as well as odor causing bacteria. It is bacteriostatic and fungistatic on mattresses, sofas and upholstered chair surfaces. Also, Sterifab Bed Bug Spray will not stain.

MORE ABOUT BEDBUGS:

Bedbugs are found in homes, apartments, dorm rooms, hotel rooms, airplanes, public transit seats, cars and moving vans—pretty much anywhere they can find a human host. They then attach themselves to clothing and other belongings and are (unknowingly) transported to new locations. However, you now have the power to detect bedbugs in time to prevent bites and infestation, with Bed Bug Alert.
Bedbugs are known to carry at least 27 agents of human disease, including the drug-resistant bacteria (or “superbugs”) MRSA and VRE, and even Hepatitis and HIV (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention journal). Scientists are still working to determine the threat of transmission. However, there is no reason to take chances when a detection system this simple exists.

ABOVE: 2nd IMAGE BOTTOM  Bed Bug Alert with trapped bedbugs

 

HOW BED BUG ALERT WORKS:

     The proprietary chemical lure attracts the bed bugs into the monitor and traps them faster and more effectively than other devices
     The patented housing is tamper-proof, protective of the chemical lure, making the product safe to use around children and pets
     The monitor has a clear view window so the user can easily check to see if bed bugs have been detected and trapped – no training required
     Can be checked and reinserted and reused easily where bed bugs are suspected
     Sturdy plastic construction prevents the glue and the monitor from being crushed while in use
     Attracts both adult bed bugs and 2nd instar nymphs

 

The Bed Bug Alert is a SIMPLE, DISCREET and AFFORDABLE way to check for bedbugs anywhere:

  

     Hospitality industry – monitor all rooms discreetly
     Business owners – find problems before they spread
     Travelers – test hotel and motel beds; keep a monitor in your luggage
     Families – keep an eye on hospitals or long-term care facilities for loved ones
     Homeowners – check daily
 

THE REAL COST OF BEDBUGS:

     Visual or dog inspection can cost hundreds depending on the size of the facility
     Treatments/fumigation can cost thousands; may be charged per room; multiple visits are often required
     Replacing property such as furniture, linens, mattresses, carpets, curtains, etc.
     Medical expenses of those suffering from bedbug bites
     Legal fees from lawsuits filed by guests or employees
     Loss of reputation regarding the quality and sanitation of the establishment
     Being added to the online bedbug registry for all the world to see

FAQ  about the ClimbUp® Insect Interceptor, an Environmentally
safe Bed Bug and Insect trapping device.

ClimbUp Environmentally Safe Monitor for Bed Bugs & Insects 

How big is the center well of the ClimbUp® bed bug & insect monitor?

How Big is the Center Well of the ClimbUp® Bed Bug & Insect Monitor?

The diameter of the center well is 4 1/4" The diameter of the center well is 4 1/4", so it is large enough to accommodate the rolling casters found on many metal bed legs. The latest addition to the ClimbUp Bed Bug and Insect Monitor line: ClimbUp XL (Stock# 2024) Measuring 8 in. wide by 10 in. long (see quarter in the photo as a size comparison), it can be used with larger furniture as an effective method to monitor bed bug infestations. The center well measures 4 x 6 in. It is available in boxes of 24.
   
Do I take the tape off the ClimbUp® ?

Do I Take the Tape off the ClimbUp® ?

No, do not remove the paper tape. No, do not remove the paper tape. The paper provides the fibrous surface for the bed bugs to climb up. If you remove it in error, it can be replaced with paper wound tape available at your local drugstore.
   
Is the talc lubricating the ClimbUp® a special talc?

Would ClimbUp® Work Better if Alcohol, Soapy Water or Oil were Added to Capture Wells?

No, any talc will act as a lubricant on the slick plastic plastic surface. No, liquids negate the lubricant effect of the talc. When alcohol or soapy water evaporates from the wells in a day or two, bed bugs will be able to cross the barrier. When a dust or lint film forms on the oil, bed bugs can walk across the top. Also, bed bugs are much easier to see against the opaque talc surface than in liquids.
   
Is the talc lubricating the ClimbUp® a special talc?

What Can Be Done if Bed Legs are Too Big to Fit in ClimbUp®?

No, do not remove the paper tape. Spacers or risers can be placed under legs to elevate legs 1½” over ClimbUp®. Commercial bed risers are available and do-it-yourselfers find that 1½” thick wooden blocks or slices of 3” diameter PVC pipe work well.
   
Is the talc lubricating the ClimbUp® a special talc?

How can ClimbUp® Cracking over Padded Carpet be Prevented?

No, do not remove the paper tape. Distribute the weight of the leg over the area of the center well by placing a 3” diameter disk of thin, rigid material under the ClimbUp®. A 3” dock washer from the local fastener store works very well.
   
Is the talc lubricating the ClimbUp® a special talc?

Can Scented Talcum Powder be used to Re-lubricate ClimbUp® Surface?

No, do not remove the paper tape. Yes, talcum powder is talc. Any talcum powder will work as lubricant. Bed bugs appear to be neither attracted nor repelled by the scents found in baby talcum powder or body talcum powder. Cosmetic talc is sufficiently pure for the purpose of lubrication.
   
Is the talc lubricating the ClimbUp® a special talc?

What Prevents Bed Bugs that have Climbed Down Bed Leg from Climbing Back Up Again?

No, do not remove the paper tape.
Nothing prevents bed bugs from climbing back up again but dispersing bed bugs are trying to get away from bed. Bed bugs only seek a blood meal about once per week.
