Inutili. Hai me siamo noi che facciamo da sensori di una eventuale … infestazione…. Lenzuola bianche per trovare le tracce delle cimici (sangue secco). E continua pulizia di tutto! Questa è l’unica alternativa!

Pros: Affordable, non-toxic (and only?) tool for monitoring for infestations Can work, but see below Most of the cons, excepting instructions, are sort of due to nature of bed bugs, as said, there is likely no better way to monitor Cons: Instructions are minimal, hard-to-see pics of how to fold, mainly No attractants, so catching bed bugs is at worst random, at best due to good placement of multiple traps Can take a long time to catch anything, due to above Even if you catch something, can be hard to identify it I bought these because a friend, who had been to my house, and I to his, found he had bed bugs. I searched, and could find no signs, but thought I'd get these, as can't hurt.. I think these can work, but there's a few things to bear in mind: they are only for monitoring, not to get rid of bed bugs. Also, they have nothing that attracts bed bugs, and for them to work, bed bugs have to "stumble upon" them, so multiple traps in different likely locations is a must. Also, re-position the traps multiple times, if they keep coming up empty, but you think you have bed bugs and see below about patience! The traps resemble bed bug hide-outs, so look like an attractive place to hide. The instructions for folding them are only small pictures, and it's hard to see them or work out from the info how these work. They should be folded flat, with the flaps in middle closed, so that the 2 halves are close together in the middle, but there's a little gap at the ends (see pics 1 and 2 ), where the bugs can enter. The shorter sides - with the widest gap - should be laid in line with where you think bed bugs might encounter them, although they can also enter via the open longer side. So, say, on the edge of the mattress, right next to the seam, with the short side towards the seam, preferably on underside of mattress - maybe attach to mattress with double-sided tape. Then when the bed bugs come out, or return there to hide, they instead encounter the trap. Another thing is it's hard to definitely identify what you've caught, but that's not really the product's fault. Bed bugs take multiple "instars" to grow to adult size, and before that, are tiny. The eggs hatch within 2 weeks, and initially, they are very, very small. Then they feed, and shed their skin, emerging one size bigger, which happens 4 or even 5 times before they get to full size, which is still quite small.. My traps have caught what are likely small bed bugs, but which I wouldn't even have recognised as insects, without my iphone's magnifiying app and switching on the torch, too. Or maybe I need to re-treat my cats for fleas.. But looking at the photos (which even without magnification, are clearer than viewing directly), I think these are probably bed bugs. Yuck! Sorry about pics, but shows these things can work. If you do find bed bugs, options for getting rid of them are limited to variations of one ingredient, Permethrin and varieties thereof. Whether in bomb form, as powder or as spray, anything you can buy in UK will have that, and at most, an Insect Growth Regulator in addition, which then makes it far more expensive.. Powder is best, far preferable to spray. Permethrin type ingredients are toxic to cats, and possibly rabbits, but not to dogs. I will exclude cats from treated area and try insect powder (for any type of insect, it is all the same thing now, anyway) sprinkling it generously on edges of mattress and around the bed, and vacuum very thoroughly a few days later. I will also use some diatomaceous earth I bought for plant pests. That works by dissolving the chitin in their shell, but requires close, prolonged contact. Also, will wash bedding at over 60 C and continue monitoring with traps. Have not been bitten, but then bed bugs can also feed on pets or go for long periods without food. I will also treat my cats for fleas, which will kill any bed bugs that might feed on them. I used 3 traps for a single bed, and 2 have caught something: pic 3 and 4 show traps at 1:1 size (middle insect in 1st is defo a fly), then sections with the bugs heavily magnified. One last thing to note: I have had these down for months, and only now have they caught anything. But it might also take a long time to catch any, as this depends on the bed bugs encountering the traps, so patience is also required. Conversely, if you find a lot of adult bed bugs, you have a heavy infestation. Based on what is available, these are definitely a useful monitoring tool. I think a lot of the negative reviews are based on unrealistic expectations of what these can achieve.. and the instructions could be a lot clearer!

For us , this did trap very small pin prick sized bugs that had just hatched ...but not any small, medium or adult bugs
