How do Duotrap Supply Bed Bug Blockers work?

Bed bugs can’t jump or fly; they can only crawl. Our DuoTrap Bed Bug Traps are designed to exploit this by providing an easy-to-climb textured surface outside and a slippery interior that traps them inside. Bed bugs are drawn by the carbon dioxide that we release while sleeping, so make sure these traps are the only way they can get to your bed.

Our traps are most effective when placed under the legs of your bed, where bed bugs typically climb. You can also use them under sofas, chairs, dressers, and other furniture. They work best where humans sleep and where bed bugs are most attracted.

We offer two sizes: the “Pro” traps with a 4-inch interior diameter and the larger “XL” traps with dimensions of 7 inches by 5 inches. Both are about 1 inch tall and should fit most furniture legs.

Yes, we ship all orders in plain, unmarked packaging to keep things discreet. If you order from another marketplace like Amazon, you should request discreet packaging at checkout.

No, our traps are designed to work effectively on their own. However, some customers like to add a bit of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder or soapy water to the bottom of the trap for extra measure. Just be sure not to add too much, as it could help the bugs escape.

We recommend checking the traps at least once a week. Even if you don’t find bed bugs, other debris like lint and dust can accumulate, making it easier for bugs to climb out.

If you spot bed bugs in the traps, carefully empty them into a tightly sealed plastic bag, ensuring no tears or holes. Throw away the bag immediately in an outdoor garbage can. For advice on cleaning and reusing the traps, see the following FAQ.

We recommend using the traps when you suspect a bed bug problem. Please keep them in place for up to 3 months after treatment to ensure all bed bugs are gone and to prevent a resurgence.

We partner with top-rated bed bug exterminators across the U.S. Enter your zip code on our Services page to find out if we have a preferred provider in your region. Our partners offer free estimates, guarantees, and competitive pricing.

If you are experiencing an active bed bug infestation, you’ll likely need professional help. DuoTrap products are great for early detection and minor infestations, but bed bugs are challenging to eliminate. It’s best to contact a pest control company with bed bug experience immediately.

Various pesticides and natural sprays can kill bed bugs but may not reach bugs hidden in furniture, walls, or other spots. One of the most efficient ways to eliminate both apparent and hidden bed bugs is through heat treatment.

Effective bed bug treatment varies based on infestation size, location, and other factors. A good plan combines multiple tools, from initial inspection to complete eradication. Start with DuoTrap products to identify and assess the severity of your infestation.

Exterminators use a multi-step approach, starting with an inspection. They may tackle the infestation using heat treatment, vacuuming, encasements, traps, and insecticides.

The time needed to eliminate bed bugs depends on the severity of the infestation. DuoTrap products start working immediately, but professional treatments usually require at least two visits over a few weeks, with larger infestations possibly needing more follow-ups over several months.

Bed bugs typically hide near their food source—sleeping humans. Common hiding spots include:

  • Mattresses
  • Box springs
  • Bed frames
  • Headboards
  • Curtain folds
  • Furniture seams
  • Electrical outlets
  • Clothing drawers
  • Baseboards

Bed bugs aren’t picky—they’ll bite anywhere they can. They feed on humans and animals, attracted by the carbon dioxide we breathe at night.

Yes, bed bugs are adaptable and can survive in cold environments. They thrive as long as they have access to a blood meal.

Bed bugs are great hitchhikers. They usually enter homes on infested used furniture or by travelling in luggage and clothing from hotels or public transport. For more info on how bed bugs spread, visit our article here.

Some sprays and aerosols kill individual bed bugs on contact. Still, they don’t provide an instant fix for a full-blown infestation.

Bed bugs are minor and nocturnal, so spotting them can be challenging. Look for signs like skin sheddings, eggs, faecal spots, and minor blood stains on the bedding.

We recommend using a mix of products for bed bug detection and treatment:

  • Bed bug interceptor traps
  • Bed bug glue traps
  • Bed bug sprays
  • Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder
  • Mattress and pillow encasements
  • Laundry additives
  • Professional treatment services
Do sticky traps work for flies?

Yes, sticky traps are effective for capturing flies.These traps utilize a sticky glue to capture insects as they land. Flies are naturally drawn to light and odours, and when they land on the trap, they get stuck, preventing them from flying away. Sticky traps control fly infestations indoors, such as in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. They can also be used outdoors, like in gardens or farms, to catch adult flies before they reproduce.

 

Flies are attracted to sticky traps by visual cues and odours. Bright colours like yellow or blue, patterns, and shapes that resemble food can lure them in. Some traps are scented with attractants like pheromones or vinegar to draw specific types of flies. Flies are also drawn to areas with food or decaying matter. To maximize effectiveness, place sticky traps near garbage cans, food prep areas, or where flies are most likely to gather. Keeping these areas clean can also reduce their attractiveness to flies.

Permanently keeping flies away can be challenging, but you can reduce their presence by:

  • Keeping your environment clean: Dispose of food waste promptly and cover trash cans.
  • Eliminating standing water: Fix leaks and remove containers that collect water.
  • Sealing cracks and gaps: Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal openings in doors, windows, and walls.
  • Using screens: Install screens on windows and doors to keep flies out while letting fresh air in.

To effectively get rid of flies indoors, try a combination of these methods:

  • Use a fly swatter: Physically remove flies by swatting them when they land.
  • Place sticky traps: Set traps in areas where flies are most active, such as around windows and doors.
  • Vacuum them up: A vacuum cleaner can quickly suck up flies. Make careful to empty the vacuum bag or canister afterwards.
  • Apply fly repellents: Use natural or chemical-based repellents, like those with citronella, lavender, or peppermint, to keep flies away.

Our Sticky Fly Traps generally remain effective for several months. However, they become less effective when covered with flies, dust, or other debris. We recommend checking your traps weekly and replacing them once the surface area is covered.

Yes, sticky fly traps are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Common areas for placing traps include kitchens, near windows, and trash bins. Position them where you notice the most fly activity.

Sticky traps are efficient against a wide range of flying insects, including fruit flies, fungus gnats, aphids, mosquitoes, leafminers, blowflies, thrips, and moths. They can be used both indoors and outdoors to control these pests.

While sticky traps help reduce fly numbers, they may not completely solve the problem, especially if the source of the infestation isn’t addressed. They are highly effective against smaller insects like gnats and fruit flies. However, larger house flies may be able to evade the glue.

The best spots for sticky traps are areas where flies are most active:

  • Near windows and doors: Flies are attracted to light, so placing traps near these areas can help catch them as they enter or exit.
  • In the kitchen: Traps near food prep areas can capture flies attracted to food and moisture.
  • Near garbage cans: Trash bins are common fly breeding grounds, making them ideal spots for traps.
  • In the bathroom: Bathroom moisture can attract flies, so placing traps here can help.
  • Near pet food or waste: Traps in areas where pets eat or relieve themselves can capture flies drawn to these spots.

The frequency of replacement depends on the level of fly activity. Trap traps may last weeks or months in areas with low to moderate infestations. In highly infested areas, they can fill up in days and must be replaced more frequently.

Do sticky traps work for cockroaches?

Yes, sticky traps, including both American and German varieties, are effective for catching cockroaches. These traps use a strong adhesive to capture cockroaches as they walk across the trap. Our traps are enhanced with a subtle, all-natural cherry juice scent that attracts roaches, increasing the effectiveness of the sticky trap.

DuoTrap’s roach glue traps are non-toxic and contain no chemicals or pesticides. They use a powerful adhesive with a natural cherry juice scent to attract and trap roaches. While some brands may include chemicals or pesticides in their traps, ours are safe for pets and children. Always check the labels to ensure you choose the right trap for your environment.

Place sticky traps in locations where cockroaches are likely to wander or hide:

  • Along walls: Roaches often move along walls, so placing traps in these areas, such as behind furniture or appliances, can be effective.
  • In dark, moist areas: Roaches prefer dark and humid environments like under sinks, cabinets, or basements. Place traps in these spots to catch hiding roaches.
  • Near food and water sources: Roaches need food and water to survive, so place traps near pet food dishes, kitchens, or any leaks or standing water.
  • In high-traffic areas: If unsure, place traps where you see the most cockroach activity, like near entryways or hallways.

Due to their resilience, completely eradicating roaches can be challenging. Still, it’s possible to reduce their numbers significantly with consistent efforts. Keep your home clean and free of food debris, crumbs, and garbage. Regularly wipe down surfaces, sweep, vacuum, and promptly remove the trash to make your environment less appealing to roaches.

In warmer climates, rats are active year-round. Still, in cooler climates, they are more active during warmer months when conditions are favorable. Roaches are typically active at night and thrive in warm, humid environments. They are also attracted to areas with readily available food and water, so their activity is more noticeable in such conditions.

Professional pest control services use various methods to eliminate roaches, depending on the severity of the infestation and the species involved. Common techniques include:

  • Inspection: Professionals inspect your home to assess the infestation and identify the roach species.
  • Baits and traps: They may use gel or granular baits to lure and kill roaches.
  • Insecticides: Sprays, dusts, or aerosols are often applied to areas where roaches hide or travel.
  • Growth regulators: These disrupt the roach life cycle, preventing reproduction.
  • Fumigation: Professionals may use fumigation to eradicate roaches and their eggs in severe cases. Always ensure the pest control service is licensed and follows safety regulations.

Roach traps are an effective way to detect, eliminate, and monitor cockroach infestations. However, for severe infestations, it’s best to use them alongside other methods for a more comprehensive approach to roach control.

While roaches are adaptable and resilient, their intelligence is limited. They may learn to associate certain smells or sights with danger but need more complex problem-solving abilities. To improve trap effectiveness, place them in areas where roaches hide or travel, such as dark, humid spots near food sources. Regularly check and replace traps to maintain their effectiveness.

The best way to prevent a roach infestation is by keeping your home clean and free of food and water sources. Additionally, several natural methods can deter roaches:

  • Essential oils: Peppermint, tea tree, and eucalyptus oils can repel roaches. Dilute a few drops in water and spray around areas where roaches may hide.
  • Bay leaves: Roaches dislike the smell of them, so placing them in cabinets and other areas can help keep them away.
  • Vinegar: White vinegar’s strong odor can repel roaches. Mix equal vinegar and water to clean surfaces, floors, and cabinets.

We recommend replacing sticky roach traps every 60 days or when the adhesive area is covered with cockroaches or other insects. While the traps and adhesive are designed to last, dust and debris can accumulate, reducing their effectiveness after 60 days.

What food attracts silverfish?

Silverfish are attracted to starchy, sugary foods, fabrics, and paper products. Everyday items that may draw them include:

  • Cereals and grains: Silverfish are drawn to the starches and sugars in these pantry staples.
  • Flour and baking mixes: High in starch, these products are also attractive to silverfish.
  • Sugar and sweets: Silverfish may seek sugary foods like candy, cookies, and baked goods.
  • Pet food: If left in open containers, pet food can attract silverfish.
  • Books and paper products: Silverfish are also attracted to paper products, which offer a food source and hiding spots. Store these goods in sealed containers to keep your kitchen and pantry clean and free of silverfish. Regular dusting and vacuuming can also help eliminate any potential food sources.

Getting rid of silverfish quickly requires a combination of strategies:

  • Identify and eliminate food sources: Silverfish feed on starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabrics. Remove or securely store these items.
  • Use sticky traps: Place traps in areas where you’ve seen silverfish to capture and prevent them from reproducing.
  • Vacuum regularly: Regular vacuuming, especially in cracks and crevices, can help remove silverfish and their eggs.
  • Seal cracks and gaps: Silverfish can enter through tiny openings in walls, floors, and ceilings. Sealing these can help prevent their entry.
  • Hire a professional: If the infestation is serious or continuous, you may consider hiring a professional pest control company for more targeted treatment.

Yes, adhesive bug traps effectively trap silverfish and control their population. Silverfish are attracted to the glue surface and the trap’s materials, which help capture them and prevent further infestation. For best results, use traps designed explicitly for silverfish.

While challenging, it is possible to permanently eliminate silverfish by following a comprehensive approach:

  • Identify and remove food sources: Silverfish thrive on starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabrics. Secure or remove these items from your home.
  • Reduce humidity levels: Silverfish prefer humid environments. To keep the air dry, utilize dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and exhaust fans.
  • Seal cracks and gaps: To keep silverfish out, seal any holes or gaps in your home’s walls, floors, and ceilings.
  • Hire a professional: Professional pest control services can offer more effective remedies for severe infestations. Even after eliminating silverfish, continue preventative measures to avoid future infestations.

DuoTrap’s silverfish glue traps are the best option because they are designed to attract and catch silverfish. Unlike other traps, ours are tailored to capture and control silverfish populations effectively.

Silverfish are drawn to sticky traps, especially ones intended for crawling insects. The trap’s gluey surface lures silverfish, capturing them as they move across it.

Professional pest control services typically use a comprehensive approach that includes:

  • Inspection: A thorough inspection to identify the source and extent of the infestation.
  • Treatment: Customized treatment plans may include insecticides, baits, and other products to eliminate silverfish and their eggs.
  • Sealing cracks and gaps: To prevent silverfish invasion, professionals will seal gaps in the walls, floors, and ceilings.
  • Humidity reduction: Recommendations for using dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and exhaust fans to reduce humidity levels, which silverfish find attractive.

We recommend replacing your silverfish sticky traps every 60 days or when the adhesive area becomes covered with silverfish or other insects. While the traps are designed to last, dust and debris can reduce their effectiveness over time.

Yes, pesticide-free silverfish traps are easy to put up and operate immediately. Silverfish are drawn to the paper or cardboard and the glue used in these traps. Many customers report catching silverfish the first night the traps are in place.

DuoTrap’s non-toxic silverfish glue traps are safe to use around food. However, silverfish are not typically attracted to food items found in kitchens or pantries. They are more interested in starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabric and prefer humid areas such as bathrooms and under sinks. We advise placing silverfish traps in these areas rather than directly around food.

Do I need a duster to remove diatomaceous earth?

A pest control powder duster is very useful for efficiently and effectively applying diatomaceous earth (DE). It helps distribute the powder evenly, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Using a duster not only ensures thorough coverage but also saves time and effort.

A diatomaceous earth duster is designed to apply DE or other fine powders. This small, handheld tool allows you to evenly distribute the powder over surfaces and into cracks and crevices where pests might hide. It’s an effective way to treat areas in and around your home and outdoor spaces like gardens, ensuring the powder reaches pests where they are most likely to be.

For indoor use, we recommend applying diatomaceous earth or other insecticide powders once a week for at least a month or until the infestation is under control. After each application, allow 48 hours before sweeping away the powder. For outdoor use, reapply the powder after each rain or period of high humidity to maintain its effectiveness.

Yes, all DuoTrap products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your product for any reason, We will provide a complete refund or a free replacement at no charge to you.

To ensure your pest control powder duster remains effective and safe for future use, follow these cleaning steps:

  • Empty remaining powder: Turn the bulb upside down and gently tap to release any leftover powder.
  • Clean each part: Wash all parts with soap and water using a small brush or toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Dry thoroughly: Dry each part with a clean towel or let it air dry completely.
  • Reassemble the applicator: Once dry, reassemble the duster applicator.
  • Store properly: Store the applicator in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture.

The type of insecticide you use with the duster depends on the pests you’re targeting. Common options include:

  • Diatomaceous earth: A natural insecticide dehydrating pests like silverfish, ants, bed bugs, and fleas.
  • Boric acid: Effective against roaches, ants, and silverfish, boric acid disrupts the pests’ digestive systems.
  • Pyrethrin: Derived from chrysanthemum flowers, pyrethrin targets pests’ nervous systems, causing paralysis and death. It is effective against mosquitoes, flies, and bed bugs.

Yes, our powder duster applicator is designed to be user-friendly. To use it, unscrew the brass lance from the bulb, fill the bulb about ¾ full with diatomaceous earth or another fine powder using the included funnel, screw the lance back on, and start dusting.

Your duster applicator works appropriately if an even powder stream is released when the bulb is lightly squeezed. If no powder comes out, there might be a clog caused by moisture or a clump of powder in the nozzle. To remedy this, detach the lance’s nozzle tip and clean the clog with a toothpick or paperclip. Ensure the bulb and lance are completely dry before using again if they’ve been washed.

When applying insecticide with a duster applicator, focus on areas where pests are likely to hide or travel:

  • Baseboards: Dust along baseboards where pests commonly travel.
  • Cracks and crevices: Apply insecticide to cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and ceilings.
  • Behind appliances: Dust behind refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines.
  • Cabinets and closets: Target areas inside cabinets and closets where food, clothing, or other items are stored.
  • Entry points: Dust around windows, doors, and other entry points to prevent pests from entering.

When using a duster applicator outdoors, follow these tips for effective and safe use:

  • Choose a calm day: Apply the insecticide on a day with little or no wind to avoid drift and ensure it reaches the intended areas.
  • Apply in dry conditions: Avoid using the duster when it’s raining or when the ground is wet, as moisture can reduce the insecticide’s effectiveness.
  • Target pest hotspots: Focus on areas where pests are known to gather, such as around the home’s perimeter, in gardens, or near compost piles.
  • Consider eco-friendly products: When possible, use natural or eco-friendly insecticides to minimize environmental impact.
Are spider glue traps safe to use?

Yes, DuoTrap’s Spider Glue Traps are non-toxic, meaning they contain no chemicals and are safe for humans and animals. They are designed with safety in mind, making them ideal for homes with children and pets.

Place Spider Glue Traps in areas where you’ve seen spider activity or where you suspect it. Common locations include: 

  • Along baseboards
  • In corners
  • On window sills
  • Under furniture
    These traps are effective when placed where spiders are likely to travel or hide.

DuoTrap’s Spider Glue Traps contain a natural scent that attracts spiders. Once a spider steps onto the trap, the strong adhesive captures it, preventing it from escaping. This method provides a practical, chemical-free way to control spider populations in your home or office.

The quantity of Spider Glue Traps you’ll require depends on the intensity of the infestation and the size of your room. DuoTrap offers packs of 12 and 20 traps, allowing flexible placement in multiple areas. For comprehensive coverage, it’s generally recommended to place a few traps in various locations within each room.

We recommend replacing the traps every 60 days or sooner if most of the adhesive surface is covered by insects or debris. While the adhesive is strong and long-lasting, dust and lint can reduce its effectiveness.

Yes, DuoTrap’s Spider Glue Traps can also catch other crawling insects. However, it’s better to use traps specifically designed for the targeted insect species for more effective pest control, as scent and adhesive viscosity may vary depending on the pest.

No, Spider Glue Traps are not reusable. We recommend disposing of the traps every 60 days or sooner if they become filled with insects. Be sure to follow the disposal instructions on the packaging and avoid direct contact with the adhesive to prevent skin irritation.

The traps generally remain sticky and functional for up to 60 days. However, their lifespan can be affected by the placement location and the level of dust, lint, or debris in the area. Consider replacing the traps more frequently if they are placed in dusty or high-traffic areas for maximum effectiveness.

Spider treatment is essential because these pests can multiply quickly and cause various issues in homes, offices, and other spaces. While most spiders are harmless, some species can pose health risks to humans and pets. Additionally, spider allergens can trigger allergic reactions or worsen respiratory conditions like asthma. Regular spider treatment helps reduce the risk of adverse effects and maintains a safer environment.

For effective pest control, it’s recommended that spider treatments be conducted quarterly. DuoTrap’s Spider Glue Traps are designed for year-round use, helping you continuously monitor and control spider populations. If you notice an increase in spider activity, consider contacting a pest control service provider. Visit our website to find a preferred partner and get a free quote.
