Q

Is there any particular benefit in getting the XL Climb Up version rather than the standard sized one?
My bed doesn't have huge legs so I want to know if there is any reason for me to get the XL version. Does the XL capture more bugs, is it more durable, is it higher quality? Does it function differently in any way or require more maintenance? Or is the ONLY difference is the size and nothing else? That is the main question: is SIZE the ONLY difference between the two interceptors? Thanks in advance!

The Climb Up XL version is not only bigger, but it is a much thicker, more durable plastic than the standard climb up. The previous climb up had a tendency to crack when used on carpet with a heavy bed because on carpet there is not as much support as there is being on hardwood or concrete type floors. The Climb UP XL is better to use on carpet because it provides better support for the bed posts, especially if they are thinner type posts.

This product is a simple pitfall trap that can be placed under the legs and feet of couches and chairs, bed posts, or other posts and legs of furniture where people rest or sleep. Bed Bugs in other parts of the infested dwelling will travel in search of a blood meal and can be intercepted and trapped in the ClimbUp Interceptor as they attempt to gain access to the beds or other furniture that have the interceptor devices installed.

The Climb-Up Insect Interceptor XL works as a trapping device that allows bed bugs to climb into the trap but not climb out. The interceptors should be placed at the leg bas of beds, nightstands, and other furniture where bed bugs are suspected or seen. Bed Bugs use the legs to gain access to beds or other furniture in search of a blood meal so this is a great and inexpensive way to monitor infestations and keep a bed or couch from bed bugs. ** This is a montioring and trapping method for bed bugs and will not eradicate a bed bug infestation.
