With insect-inspired design and proven pheromone attractant technology, the trademarked BugScents Sentry Pro bed bug monitoring system powered by Liphatech effectively detects bed bugs in as little as 24 hours. This is backed by simulated bedroom studies, although for best results, use in occupied rooms for 24 to 96 hours.
Every aspect of the BugScents Sentry Pro detection trap is designed with the insect in mind, including the color, texture, opening size and thigmotactic channels. It features 360-degree entry to allow bed bugs to enter at any angle and maximize catch rate. The monitor’s 60 channels have been specially designed to act like corridors and take advantage of bed bugs’ thigmotactic behaviors.
Packaging is slim and discreet, with a compact frame that fits under even a divan-style bed. Pest management professionals (PMPs) can also affix the trap either horizontally or vertically, allowing placement behind a headboard. The base of the trap sits flush to the surface to prevent bugs crawling underneath and avoiding the glue.
The patented slow-release formulation in the BugScents attractant mimics bed bugs’ natural aggregation pheromone. In addition to being used to assess infestations and in post-treatment monitoring, the BugScents monitor can provide up to three months of active ongoing monitoring to detect new infestations, effectively targeting all adult and nymph stages. The monitor itself is reusable for up to a year, and replacement lures and glue boards are sold in refill packs. Lures should be replaced every three months, and glue boards should be replaced every two to three months or when an infestation is detected.
Because the monitors attract refuge-seeking bed bugs, they are effective in both the presence and absence of a human host. In fact, when the trap is set in an occupied room, it will detect infestations faster.
Applications for the BugScents monitor include both residential and commercial settings. The monitors can be used in the presence of pets and children when used as directed.
BugScents monitors are now distributed by Liphatech in all U.S. states except New Mexico. This intelligent solution is one of many ways Liphatech supports PMPs, along with additional insect control products, rodent control solutions and expert guidance from its team of experienced pest professionals.
