So that sometimes the perceived number of "bites" is not a true indication of level of infestation. This has to do with bed bugs probing to find a good spot combined

Do you mean that a single bedbug can create the appearance of a larger infestation by the number of its bites? Or something new about our allergic response? Also, thanks for the hope.

Several groups are working on this project and hopefully some viable cost effective traps will be available in the near future. Other methods of detection are also being looked into but only at the most basic level. But there is hope. Early attempts at aggregate pheromone traps have not been dramatic. Several
