Say I live in apt 4F. I wake up with some odd skin reactions, which are in fact sebaceous cysts - not bedbug bites, but I don't know that yet. I set up a bedbug trap. Unknown to me, my neighbor in 3G has bedbugs which haven't spread beyond her unit yet. Is there a chance the trap could draw those bedbugs to travel across chambers into my apartment? Bedbugs travel between apartments, but the spread isn't inevitable. I'm curious whether a trap might be so powerful an attractant that it could inadvertently precipitate the bugs' spread.

It also gives us another clue on detecting bedbugs on our own--if you vacate your place for a while, the bedbugs can be easier to detect. (I found this out when I returned from a two-week vacation. My bedbugs came marching across the floor during the day to welcome me home!) This is indeed promising.
