Florida researchers develop DIY bedbug trap

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 22 (UPI) --Surveys suggest bedbugs are everywhere, and they're becoming resistant to pesticide treatments -- treatments that cost upwards of several thousand dollars.

Luckily, for itchy victims of the bedbug epidemic, researchers at the University of Florida have developed a way to make effective bedbug traps using household items. Each trap can be assembled for less than $1.

If you have two disposable plastic containers, masking tape and glue lying around the house, you can make a make bedbug trap, easy. The traps can be used to collect the biting insects as they commute from their hiding spots to their dinner (sleeping people).

"This concept of trapping works for places where people sleep and need to be protected at those locations," said Phil Koehler, an urban entomology professor at Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

The traps, Koehler explains, take advantage of bedbugs' inability to climb on smooth surfaces. Enticed by rough materials and lots of traction on their way to their midnight snack, the bedbugs enter easily before sliding into a smooth-surfaced moat. There they remain, trapped -- unable to regain their footing.

Here -- courtesy of a University of Florida press release -- are the instructions for a do-it-yourself bedbug trap:

1. Cut four pieces of rough-surfaced tape. Each piece should be at least as long as the wall of the smaller container is tall.

2. Evenly space and firmly press the four pieces of tape vertically on the inside surface of the smaller container. The tape allows the bugs to escape the small container easily and fall into the space between the small and the large container walls, where they are trapped.

3. Wrap tape around the exterior of the larger container from the base to its upper edge so the bedbugs can enter the trap easily.

4. Glue the smaller container onto the center of the bottom of the larger container.

The contraption seems so simple, yet so clever, like something The Professor might have concocted on "Gilligan's Island."

Researchers at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences have devised a bedbug trap that can be built with household items. All you need are two disposable plastic containers, masking tape and glue, said Phil Koehler, UF/IFAS urban entomology professor. The traps catch and collect the bugs when they try to travel between people and the places where bedbugs hide, he said.

"This concept of trapping works for places where people sleep and need to be protected at those locations," Koehler said.

The traps rely on the bugs' poor ability to climb on smooth surfaces, he said. Instead, the traps have rough areas to let bedbugs enter easily, and a smooth-surfaced moat that keeps them from escaping.

Here's how to make one:

The traps work best if you apply talc, including baby powder, to the space between the small and large container walls to make it harder for the bugs to escape. Many people use incorrect methods to treat bedbugs. Koehler advises against using flammable liquids, mothballs, treating mattresses with pesticides and using bug bombs.

Koehler said the bedbug device is pretty foolproof and effective.

"It's really hard to mess this up to the point that you'd hurt anything," he said.

PHOENIX, May 19, 2014 -- /PRNewswire/ --

Three Ways Bed Bugs Are Bad for Your Health When most people hear the words "bed bugs," they start to squirm a little and think, do I feel something crawling on me? And then the imaginary itching starts. We won't lie to you: There's nothing pretty about bed bugs. But with the increased news coverage they've received of late in Phoenix, we thought we might shed a little light on why you should be worried, above and beyond the creepiness factor. 1. Bed Bugs Are Parasites Bed bugs live off the blood of their prey, much the way mosquitoes do. They come out mostly at night and get into beds, typically crawling onto legs and feet to bite and feed. Although most people are not allergic to bed bugs, their bites can leave red marks that itch and cause discomfort. For small children who live in a home with a bed bug infestation, they may lose significant blood, especially if they already suffer from anemia. Most bed bugs feed for 3-15 minutes every 3-4 days. 2. Bed Bugs Carry Diseases Just as mosquitoes are known to carry dangerous diseases from person to person when sucking blood from their hosts, bed bugs are also privy to those blood-borne pathogens. According to a study at Purdue University, nearly 30 diseases have been found in bed bugs, including everything from viruses and bacteria to protozoa and parasitic worms. Thankfully, there have been no proven cases in which bed bugs have transferred diseases between hosts, so they are much less dangerous than mosquitoes in this arena. 3. Bed Bugs Reproduce Quickly A well-fed bed bug can lay up to 500 eggs in her lifetime. While that fact alone is not dangerous to human health, it's the fact that the bed bugs multiply -- in large numbers -- that makes getting rid of them that much more of a challenge. While most bed bugs don't travel once they've set up residence, they certainly can attach themselves to luggage or clothing, and they can lay eggs in those locations as well, meaning they can spread quickly. The squirm factor aside, bed bugs can cause health problems and are a big issue that should concern everyone. Thankfully, when working with Budget Brothers Termite & Pest Elimination, your bed bug problems will be a thing of the past in no time. And if you're concerned that you might have bed bugs (especially after reading this article!), perhaps a bed-bug inspection is the way to go to ensure that your residence is safe.
