Beacon Monitor
By Jennifer on 03/12/2011
I haven't caught anything. Sat it in child's room, went away for the day, shut up house, didn't have anything in it. Have been following instructions but nothing. I do have an infestation of bugs but I just got a hand held steamer and are eliminating them myself that way. I think I wasted my money on this, doesn't work.

Invaluable To Me
By Rachel on 04/22/2013
I had a very thorough professional extermination for bedbugs some months back. I was complaining to the exterminator that I was still having some skin reactions that I found troubling. I was told that I was being paranoid. I went on for months spraying myself because I wasn't convinced they were gone. Using this product I was able to catch two bugs in the second week of monitoring rooms I had vacated for this test. Thanks to this product I knew I still had a problem and was able to get a whole house thermal treatment. Unfortunately the first thermal treatment was not fully effective as I set these monitors up right afterwards and caught two bugs after one week. With the Bed Bug Beacon I have had no issues claiming my 30 day guarantee on the second treatment because I have proof. I also have a better idea of where my problem areas are and have directed my current pest control company to treat these places directly. I will continue to use this product until I know my infestation is gone and I would recommend them to anyone who is concerned that they may have a bed bug problem.

Bed Bug Beacon Works Well
By Debra on 09/24/2010
After treating my apartment and getting rid of lots of furniture. I felt the bed bug problem was over. I tested my feeling using this product in two places in my apartment and there were no bed bugs in the device during the time I had it in place - over 10 days in both places. This product helped me understand that the bedbug problem is gone.

Unsure if this is useful

This works
By Nicola on 11/13/2017
My exterminator had a dog come through my apt and it picked up on bedbugs in my closet. The problem is coming from other apartments. I caulked my closet and wanted to see if it was effective. I set up this trap and caught a first stage nymph. I am annoyed the caulking didn't help but at least I know I still have a problem. This is a great device.

Worked Well (I think!)
By Stacy on 04/30/2017
Most do not realize how important it is to identify what is or is not biting you. This will not rid you of bugs, but will let you know if you indeed have bedbugs and/or have treated successfully. We had bedbugs and treated. We went away and placed three of these in a large room. All were empty at the end and we have been bug free ever since!

Waste of money
By Bonnie on 12/29/2020
They were in my living room only. We sprayed and killed the ones we could see. We set up the beacon which was not easy because the tubing was to big for the holes, had to tape them onto the bottle or they would slide right off ( I ordered 2) ( we have not used the living room in a month) We didn't catch any in the trap, the ones we did get were on the sticky trap's under the legs of our furniture. I do not recommend. Save yourself a lot of money and use sticky trap's.
