Harris Bed Bug Glue Traps (20/Pack)

3rd purchase while dealing with cleaning out rentals & apartment buildings. If infested, or detect that you are then definitely follow up with the spray on contact with long term blow into seems of walls etc the *diatomaceous earth (DE)* Following quote taken from online: can kill many types of bugs, including: Ants, Bed bugs, Cockroaches, Fleas, Lice, Millipedes, Mites, Spiders, Ticks, and Silverfish. DE is made from the fossilized remains of diatoms, which are microscopic algae with silica shells. The sharp edges of the silica in DE cut into the exoskeletons of insects, damaging them and causing them to dehydrate and die. DE is considered safer than chemical pest control products. However, it can irritate the skin and eyes, so it's recommended to wear a mask when applying large amounts.

The negative reviews on here are absurd. These things work great and not just for bed bugs. If your BED is infested with bugs, of course they aren't going to catch them because they are hiding IN your matress or box spring, not on the floor! These DO catch any and all bugs that walk into them. I've put them under beds, under bookshelves, under the furniture and in the basement because that's where bugs like to hide. These do the job and are easily disposable. If you have a bedbug infestation IN your bed, these will do little because the pests are already nested up nice and cozy inside your matress just waiting for you to go to sleep. Common sense folks!

Instructions for setup are unclear. Has only trapped one bed bug since being put out a week ago.

I do like the product, it’s easy to use, but the bugs are not attracted to it. I saw bed bugs climbing on the wall and on the bed. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I put them in the corner of the beds. Please advise if there is anything different I should do.

These are great insect traps. We used them initially for bed bugs, but now that problem is solved we've kept buying them because they are GREAT bug traps. We have an old house with lots of bug issues, especially crickets, spiders, centipedes and ants. These traps catch them all in a way that isn't hazardous to our dogs. As a bonus, the way they are constructed means the dogs can't get stuck to them if they go exploring under the furniture (which one of them likes to do). I just place them in areas that have a lot of bug traffic (under beds, in corners etc.) and change them out weekly, or as needed. Thanks for a great product.

I realize traps need to be this sticky due to how little bed bugs weigh, but working with them and trying very hard not to touch the pad is difficult. Especially trying to free your finger(s). I have not caught a single bug. I believe the major problem is there is nothing to attract them to the trap. Giving the pads a strong lemon scent would do it. Bed bugs cannot resist lemon. Usually it would be the acid in the lemon juice that kills them. This would be the scent to attract, then getting stuck on the pad and they're done. No need for the cover part. If the cover even barely touches the pad while trying to set it up, there is no getting it off. One wasted. Obviously, these did not work for me.

Although it took a few minutes to figure out how to put them together, they worked fine. I haven't had a major infestation, so I can't speak to that. I got them as soon as I got my first two bites.

I was very fortunate when I realized my home was infultrated with bed bugs. We only found 5 in my bedroom. 5 .... if there are 5 there are probably plenty more! I have done everything I could possibly do to rectify the situation! Burned my bed... cleaned... treated treated and treated. This has had an extreme physical, mental and psychological toll on me and my poor body. I’m sleeping on the couch until our new bed arrives. I was waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks feeling like bugs were crawling all over me! When I received your product I placed 10 traps in various areas of my home, 4 in my bedroom alone. It has been about 4 days now and I have found nothing... well a spider or two. I have even moved them around a bit and still nothing! I’m not positive if I have completely taken care of the situation.... I’m still working on it. All I know is that not finding anything in these traps have given me a huge piece of mind!!! I’m not having the panic attacks while I sleep anymore!! Thank you very much!

It's no good. Does nothing at all. Followed all instructions.
