If you’re dealing with bed bugs, you know how crucial it is to catch them early before they develop into a full-blown infestation.
Today, we’re diving into one of the most important tools in your bed bug arsenal: monitoring devices. We’ll break down the main types passive and active—and explain why choosing the right one can save you time, effort, and money.

Let’s start with the basics: bed bug monitors come in two main categories—passive and active. The key difference? It’s all about the attractant. Passive monitors don’t use attractants; they rely on bed bugs accidentally wandering into them. On the other hand, active monitors use attractants like CO2 to lure bed bugs directly into the trap. Let’s talk about glue traps—the same glue traps used for ants and mice. Homeowners, and even some less-educated exterminators, often use these for bed bugs. But here’s the thing: they’re not effective for bed bugs. Bed bugs don’t just randomly walk into glue traps. They’re looking for a meal, not a sticky surface. Now, let’s move on to active bed bug monitors, which are much more effective. These monitors can be divided into two groups, both relying on CO2 as the primary attractant. And here’s why: CO2 accounts for 95% of how bed bugs locate their next meal—a living, breathing organism.
