ClimbUp Original Insect Interceptor
ClimbUp Original Insect Interceptor
ClimbUp Original Insect Interceptor, manufactured by Susan Mcknight, is a pitfall trap no larger than 3 3/4" that can easily be placed under the legs of furniture like couches or mattresses to block travel pathways for bed bugs or trap them leading to death from dehydration.
This specially designed product allows the bed bug to crawl up only from the outside as they try to reach the furniture, and then become trapped as the inside of the ClimbUp Original Inspector Interceptor are too slick for pests to climb. This not only allows the user to eliminate bed bugs without the use of pesticides, but it also allows for easy treatment of trapped bed bugs.
ClimbUp Original Insect Interceptor is a non-toxic and easy to clean trap for various stages of bed bug activities.
Tools Needed

How to Use
- Step 1: Remove any bedding, sheets, comforters, or clothing that is touching the ground and wall. You will also need to remove any items on furniture that is touching the floor or wall. All electric cords should be disconnected between bed and wall. By eliminating these you help to ensure that bed bugs cannot avoid the traps by climbing these other "bridges".

- Step 3: Monitor the ClimbUp Original Insect Interceptor daily for bed bug activity, but do not move or handle the product. Leave the ClimbUp Original Insect Interceptor for a minimum of 21 days to provide the best opportunity to capture or monitor bed bug activities. During this time frame, you may remove bed bugs from the product by wiping them out with a cotton ball laced with a small quantity of talc. Immediately place the used cotton balls in a sealed plastic bag for disposal in outdoor trashcan.
