Bed Bug Beacon Monitor for Bed Bugs

Make that ZERO STARS. This beacon doesn't work. It's very expensive for nothing. Co2 output is so minimal that the bugs can't even detect it. I bet it couldn't even keep a plant alive! I mixed it, swirled it and used the so called trap with the oil, but no bugs came anywhere near. I made sure there was no ventilation so that the Co2 didn't get dispersed, I made sure the room was dark as the night, but no bugs went for it. I even spent the nights in a different room, so as not to confuse them, still no bugs. So, I thought it wasn't human-like enough, so I put my prior nights' pajamas on the bed, tucked a heating pad set to low inside it, then I gave the trap a little more oil and set the trap atop it. I figured that would simulate me, but after 3 days of that, still no bed bugs I gave the bottle one good last shake to get the Co2 output up, but still no bugs. I removed it and put it on the floor as recommended, still nothing. Then it pooped out. I laid down on the bed the next nigh and theyravenous!If you ask me, there are better uses for active dry yeast, like beer or pizza, but as for bed bugs... forget about it!THIS DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, NOT EVEN FOR 1 BUG! ! !

It just doesn’t work

Did not purchase this device; largely due to all the negative reviews, but as a biologist, entomologist and insect collector I think the basic idea is sound -- except no heat attractant is involved?I could likely make a better one using yeast or kefir grains (Amazon) to generate the C02 lure, like is used in popular mosquito traps sold here as well, and a temperature controlled Peltirer solid-state heater fabrication. If indeed I have actual 'bed bug' bites now, instead of just chiggers from a hay bale, ill get right on it!I could try various CO2 producer cultures and an Arduino interface with an thermistor sensor for temperature control (98.6*F or 37*C) for body temperature. The "bed bug' prevention/treatments that can be available on Amazon I recommend:Laresar Portable Handheld Vacuum, Python Dust (it will even wipe out flea infestations and fire ants overnight), LOFTEK UV Flashlight Black Light for bug detection, diatomaceous Earth powder and XFasten Double Sided Tape Carpet Tap to trap em. The nuclear option I would think is: "Bayer Advanced Complete" the yard spray wiped out everything here in Texas for the entire Summer with just two applications. Pricey, but worth every penny IMOGood luck!

Hey MMTO. That was so funny. Thanks for that enlightening review. I will not get that Co2 trap now.

This product is cheaply made as the other reviewer pointed out. I add that it seems ineffective. I'd like to hear from others for whom it was useful. As was pointed out, expensive and more so to keep up.
