The problem: Bed bugs or bedbugs (Cimex spp.) are an increasingly common problem with accurate early detection and treatment the best way to control them. Their nocturnal activity and ability to stay hidden for long periods of time between host feeds makes them difficult to identify. They are also highly transmissible between locations, giving a constant risk of introduction. When they are present, the ideal conditions around sleeping areas can result in very rapid population growth.
The product: Nattaro Scout bed bug lures have a unique mix of bed bug attractants, to be used in the patented trap from which they cannot escape once caught. Accurate monitoring for the presence is the first and most important step of managing bed bugs. Correct identification of early stages of infestation allows early intervention.
