Many are familiar with the effects of having bed bugs roaming around the house. They are not just responsible for causing itchy rashes but can be harmful to the health of all people. It is a huge challenge getting rid of these invaders especially because they scatter and hide in different parts of the house. They are known to hide in the dark cracks around the home, which can house them, as they get ready to make their move. The good news is that there are bed bug traps that anybody can set up to rid them completely.

People have devised creative ways to eliminate bugs through bed bug traps. One of the most common traps is where people will place a liquid under the legs of the bed meaning that any bed bug that wants to get to the bed will have to get inside the water, which is hard for bugs. The following are simple guides that will help you create a bed bug trap that will do the trick. Start with plastic containers that will fit well into each other for the bed bug traps. Since the bed will have four legs, there needs to be containers for each one for traps to do the job. Stick rough paper or fabric to the outside of the larger container and this is to allow bugs to move up easily.

Place the small container inside the larger one and these can be plastic bowls that will do the same job effectively. Pour a liquid into the large container and in most cases using water will be the best option make sure levels of water are ideal. Insect dust or talcum powder, which is easily available in the market, will need to be placed inside the small plastic container. This trap is very effective. When all this is complete, place the container under the legs of the bed or beds and they are ready to start their important tasks of capturing bugs.

People will opt to use different kinds of liquid on the large container leaving water aside. Some of the liquids might be harmful chemicals, which can present a danger not just to pets in the home but to little children as well. Therefore, the best thing is to use water because it is not just effective but will also not present any danger in the home. The small container will help trap the bugs that are getting off the bed while the larger container with rough surface on the outside will trap those that are getting up to the bed. Water will drown the insects while the insect dust will kill most of the bugs as they try to cross.
