One way to kill bed bugs.

Abstract

The method uses a tape trap. As an example, tape from OWIM GmbH & Co., model no. HG000358, was used. Fig. 2 shows the tape attached to bed 1. The tape 5 is attached to the lower part 2 of bed 1. The sticky part 5b is in contact with the lower part 2 of bed 1. The sticky part 5a remains suspended in the air. Bed bugs must overcome this sticky part 5a to get onto bed 1 or hide in the seams 4. The seams 4 can be completely sealed, and the tape leaves no residue when removed. The sticky part of the tape prevents the bed bug from moving and feeding on blood. After 7 days, all bed bugs are dead. For this method, tape from TEDI GmbH & Co. KG is used, for example.

Description

One way to kill bed bugs.Known method of controlling bed bugs with the chemical agent FUTUM 5L Anti-bed bugs Spray Protection Agent Poison against bugs Ex. From https: / / www.futum.de / .The disadvantage of this method is the low effectiveness, the short duration of action and the relatively high risk for human health. In addition, the chemical agents spoil the appearance of the surfaces on which the chemical agents are sprayed.The object of the invention is to eliminate these disadvantages.This object is achieved by using an adhesive tape trap in the method for controlling bed bugs.Figure 1 shows a bed 1 with a bottom part 2, legs 3 and technological seams 4. Figure 2 shows an adhesive tape attached to the bed 1. The adhesive tape 5 is attached to the lower part 2 of the bed 1. The tacky part 5b is in contact with the bottom part 2 of the bed 1. This tacky part 5a must be overcome by bed bugs in order to get onto the bed 1 or to hide itself in the technological seams 4. The technological seams 4 can be completely glued, whereby the adhesive tape does not leave any traces when it is removed. The tacky portion of the adhesive tape allows the bed bug to move and drink blood. After 7 days, all bed bugs die.References included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
