Ortho Home Defense MAX Bed Bug Trap 2-Traps

Before purchasing the traps, my family had found several of the nasty little critters. So we began treating. But we never used any bed bug products. Like sprays or that daematrius earth powder stuff. We used household supplies, such as baking powder. Trust me. It works. The critters get trapped in it, and suffocate. You can use it around the seams where the wall and floor connect. And you can place it in a pot or large bowl (preferably metal), and put the legs of your bed in it. But, that's "only" if you catch the bugs before they can infest. And we just so happened to get lucky enough to get them before they could infest. I'm pretty sure we drug them into our house from a yardsale purchase of some furniture. A dresser and a cabinet. After a week or so of purchasing them, the bugs appeared. The only reason I purchased the traps were for a cautionary measure to be sure they were gone after we treated. After a couple of weeks, my family has peace of mind. The traps were empty. No more sightings and no more bites. And it has been a couple more weeks since we checked the traps as of this review. But I do plan on making another purchase to do a double check. Cause bed bugs can lay dormant, or hibernate if that's the proper way to say it. And they can for months. So even if you think you got them all, you may not have. The traps were very easy to use. Just take them out of the package, firmly press the button on the top of the trap, and place them. Simple. And the traps are small. So they can be placed in some tight spots. Be warned though. The traps do have a smell. Though the scent has a small radius and you probably won't even notice when placing them under a bed frame by the legs. That's my experience with these traps. Good luck to everyone else combating the nasty little critters.

The pad is not sticky and doesn’t trap. There are next to no information on how these work on the box. When I googled it says there is a sticky pad but the sticky pad is not sticky at all. So unless you literally watch it 24/7 you’re not going to trap. I got these just to monitor, I don’t have evidence of an infestation but how am I supposed to find out I have BBs if they don’t get stuck in the trap? Also found out that they only work for 2 weeks so that is a really short time for simple monitoring.

Worked the best. All bugs are dead.

Didn't catch any bedbugs...either this isn't as good as I'd hoped, or I don't have bedbugs...I'm betting a 4 star rating that I don't have bedbugs...

They did the job

Not bad

Works great

I rarely leave bad reviews, but I am angry! This ORTHO bed bug trap is Absolutely USELESS!!! This does NOT “trap” bugs as the name suggests! It is an open door policy for the bugs! They can waltz in and waltz right out the instant they realize there is no food! Unless you have the time to sit and stare at the trap waiting for a bug to enter, you are never going to know if you have bed bugs or not! Why in the heck Ortho “experts” didn’t use basic middle school common sense to actually use sticky paper on the inside to actually trap the bugs so you can walk away and check the traps hours later is beyond all comprehension! This is NOT a trap as the name suggests! Absolutely useless! Overpriced Garbage!
