Just began using this product. Unfortunately some of the bedbugs have managed to climb into the center well leaving access to the legs of my bed. I have taken the precaution of using Vaseline on the l…

Works as indicator
By Js in Suffern, NY on 08/11/2010
Instructions should say: remove each one from the BOTTOM of the stack, it's much easier. These were for my parents' apartment in NYC, which had already been treated. We put them under chair and sofa l…

A little spendy
By Brian in Hernando, MS on 10/31/2012
...and I can't really even prove they work. I went with the nuclear option and sprayed everything and tossed box springs, so I haven't trapped any bugs. Still, it seems reasonable they would work. Our…

Climb-Ups
By Jim in Dayton, Ohio on 05/10/2010
Climb-ups are a major tool in bed bug control. I have a bed bug company and use climb ups on every job. If you have a large bed post it will be to big for the climb up. Metal bed frames work very well…

By Jerry in Raleigh, NC on 12/28/2011
We bought Climbup interceptors for three beds at our house as part of our bed bug remediation strategy. They have worked properly on the one bed that is on a hardwood floor, but the interceptors crack…

The product was received quickily, but should have been mailed in a confidential manner based on what the product was and not in a box indicating the name of the product. Because of this I would prefe…

By George in Fort worth, Texas on 09/04/2011

Got the b*st*rds!
By Ed in Providence, RI on 02/26/2013
The product worked quite well! The little pests are getting stuck in the interceptors and are dying off!
Peace of Mind
By Pru in Brookings, SD on 06/19/2012
I put felt pads on the bottoms of my metal bedposts to help prevent cracking - seems to be working so far. I think the best thing about this product is the peace of mind one gets. I've not trapped any…

Great
By Yvonne in Southern California on 09/30/2014
Exactly as expected, fast service, as advertised product. Interesting that "grandma" used to have these in glass "back in the old days" these were standard for all homes, only in glass.

Expert response:
The interceptors will only capture bedbugs if they are coming from other areas than the bed. We recommend you thoroughly treat the bed with appropriate products such as encaements, treat the frame and move the bed away from the walls. If the interceptors capture bedbugs capture bedbugs at this point you will know that the bedbugs are in other areas that also need to be treated. Please a few moments to read pour bedbug guide to learn more about this treatment: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-check-for-bed-bugs-a-450.html

Excellent product

Inexpensive, highly effective way to monitor for Bed Bugs. Great for positive ID to determine if treatment is needed, and great for verifying treatment worked. They'll probably even keep the ones not …

Monitoring bed bug population density

My tenants keep beds & sofas against the walls & have lots of bedside clutter, so ClimbUps are empty in spite of active bed bug infestation.
My Legs Are Too Fat!!
By Barb in Roxboro, NC on 09/29/2018
This is a good product but the top legs on our bed are too thick so they don't fit right. They are fine on the bottom and the idea behind the design is a good one.
