can bedbugs crawl back up your bed once landing in the climb up bedbug trap

I don't believe so as long as there is enough talcum powder to smother them.

I'm really not sure. However do know the more talc powder there is in the interceptors... the harder for any bug to get out. The interceptors have caught some common house bugs (including spiders) in my house. We didn't have a bed bug problem. We did have a bat bug problem (similar) that's since resolved since we got the bats out of the attic. We used diatomaceous earth in and along cracks/baseboards and bath cabinets to help kill the bat bugs (I did find a couple of dead bat bugs afterwards). We never used insecticides (sprays). Although diatomaceous earth is supposed to be fairly harmless, it still is considered a form of pesticide and should be used sparingly. A very very LIGHT dusting is all you need where you barely see it. You need to be careful using it "and not inhale in lungs" - be very careful around babies and children. One pest guy visited our house and told us he went to a home and the parents had put diatomaceous earth all around and in their babies' crib. He said never do this! It's so harmful to the infant. I hear Bed bugs are more difficult to get rid of than bat bugs... you probably need a pest company that specializes in bed bugs to spray insecticide inside. Lots of vacuuming, washing and wiping down everything with a little rubbing alcohol on a rag. You need to kill the eggs that they lay. Keeping clothes off floors and washing laundry continuously. We got rid of all of our mattresses and couches that harbored these critters. Bought new mattress/box spring covers off amazon brand Saferest. Fingers crossed we won't have to go through this again.

I beleive it would be highly unlikely that the bed bug is capable of climbing "back up the bed" if they fall into the "mote" portion of the tray.I buy that popular powder on the market thar kills the bugs and lay down a bead of it in the mote area of the "climbup" tray.

If a light dusting of powder is on the slick insides of trap, bugs cannot climb up. I've found ants, spiders in bottom unable to climb out. Be sure linen from bed does not hang down into trap providing way to climb up.

Yes. I used one indoors last year when I had some kind of tiny flying bug from a plant I brought inside in the fall. It caught all of them.

I don't know. Your question inspired me to do a google search, and I found the answer below on this site: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12133597/ns/dateline_nbc-dont_let_the_bed_bugs_bite/t/your-bed-bug-questions-answered/ QUESTION: A similar question has to do with mattress covers, can they prevent bed bugs? ANSWER: The answer is no. Bed bugs can still get on top of the mattress cover or harbor in the bed frame. The advantage of the mattress cover is that if you already have bed bugs, you can trap them inside the cover and they cannot bite through. If you don't have bed bugs the cover saves you from having to throw out the mattress if you ever get bed bugs.

There are small ventilation holes. I guess its possible. Bed bugs can get into just about anything. Ugh!

From my understanding, it helps bed bugs climb in but traps them when they are in the second ridge. Isthmus prevents new bedbugs from making their way into your mattress. This product actually works!! Found a few bed bugs here and there but haven't been bitten since I purchased this item along w/ mattress covers.

not sure, but the bugs "outside" hate it..... can't hurt to try it.....good luck :)i've often heard that bed bugs are very resistant,though

Yes. I was told that bed bugs live in the box spring and just move around the mattress. I have the cover for both mattress and box spring

It can't get out, because the trap doors close in on it. You have to take the tip off and let the bug out. I gave mine to good-will. It's and under-powered toy as far as I'm concerned.

No, they're completely passive. Put them in corners and around your baseboards. Bugs always go around the baseboards.

It doesn't and anyone who thinks it does is completely clueless about bedbugs. If they're there, they'll find you. Saying you've used this in your travels and didn't encounter bedbugs simply indicates you didn't stay anyplace where bedbugs were present. You might as well say you've never been struck by lightning while using this so it protects you from lightning.+

I believe they would fit. I don't have that type of bed. You will catch just about any insect in these traps.

I had bedbugs and those are the toughest to get rid off and it worked on those. I don't think it mentions those either. I still spray my entire house every 4-6 weeks just in case because after such time I did get bit again so I don't dare stop.

First bug has to sink to the bottom for the cleaner to pick them up. Then it depends on the cleaners ability to pick the bugs up. Once trapped in the canister, they're dead and won't get out. For me I mostly find the occasional worm.

I don't know about bed bugs. I bought it as I heard something chewing in an outside wall. This was the only device advertised to work through a wall. It didn't work!

As their name implies, bedbugs bug beds, not electronics. Unfortunately, for electronics bugs, you need a different product!

Sorry,can't help you there.I never used the trap (wrong insect). I would think that the seller could answer this question.

If on surface where spider crawled I believe he would be "trapped". I used for flying insects that would land on treated surface.
