Application
The First Response Bed Bug Trap works best in vacated rooms (where bed bugs are isolated from hosts). If possible, we suggest moving the bed before setting up the trap. An established bed bug infestation has usually discovered the quickest route to get to their victims. Moving the bed disrupts their routine and forces them to search for you. This increases the effectiveness of the traps as they decoy the bed bugs onto the sticky trap and not on to you.
Retreatment
Replace sticky pad and light bulb as needed. Carbon Dioxide bottle will need to be replaced every few weeks
