I don't have any debris in any of them, and the one time that I re-applied the talc, I just sprinkled a little in, swiped all the sides and bottom with a cotton ball, and shook the excess out. Is that what you're talking about?</p> <p>By the way- I haven't caught any BBs in these (but also, not sure if I have them or not right now...), but I HAVE caught 2 baby cockroaches (IDed by an entomologist). </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-49743 Sat, 30 May 2009 14:04:30 +0000 bedbugdude 49743@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Nice video Jeff!</p> <p><a href="http://vulgrin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/orson-clapping.gif" rel="nofollow">http://vulgrin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/orson-clapping.gif</a> </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-49669 Fri, 29 May 2009 13:43:27 +0000 JWhiteBBCTV 49669@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>We've been compiling data on these over the past 2 months and using them on all of the jobs that we complete and I think we've collected almost 2000 bed bugs in them.

Thanks guys! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44499 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:06:19 +0000 JWhiteBBCTV 44499@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Thanks bitten and Paula is right. Bed Bug Central does sell them. I was trying not to mention that since I try to avoid the marketing aspect of this stuff but the bottom line is that there just aren't a lot of places to get these yet. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44498 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:52:58 +0000 paulaw0919 44498@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Cooper's site sells them as well as a few other sites.

Given, I'm not sure how a homeowner would check that but as I said, the experts are looking into it. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44439 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 01:56:54 +0000 OutOutDarnBugs 44439@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>JimmyChanga - 2 hours ago <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44431">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</a></cite><br /> ...and leave the BBs smelling good afterwards too!</p></blockquote> <p>As they DIE!

So I'm pretty sure baby powder will do the job, and leave the BBs smelling good afterwards too! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44429 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 22:00:39 +0000 JWhiteBBCTV 44429@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>1. I'm not completely sure since a bunch of different people have been working on different aspects of the testing with these monitors but from what I know, bugs have not been able to escape if the wells are properly talc'd. I will never say never but the results of talc vs. no talc are drastically different. With the talc the bugs have a very difficult time getting out and to my knowledge, haven't been able to.</p> <p>2. That is something that I know the manufacturer has been looking at. I would say to buy the highest concentration of talc you can find (I'm not sure what percentage baby powder is) and go with that. As more knowledge becomes available in regards to which talc/product works best, I will provide it. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44383 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:21:52 +0000 reepicheep 44383@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I have two questions:<br /> 1. In all the testing done, was there ever an instance when a bed bug was able to crawl over the talc out of either of the wells?</p> <p>2. Is the powder used in the well the same talcum powder that is used in baby powder?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/climbup-insect-interceptor-video#post-44372 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:54:31 +0000 JWhiteBBCTV 44372@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>As mentioned, we filmed an informative video about the Climbup Insect Interceptors and it's officially up at: <a href="http://tv.bedbugcentral.com/" rel="nofollow">http://tv.bedbugcentral.com/</a> </p> <p>It's the first video on the page and this should explain the basics of the trap, some things to consider and other miscellaneous topics about the trap.</p> <p>Just so everyone is aware who isn't familiar with the Viddler video player. You can actually comment in the video. Where the minutes scroll across the bottom, if you click on the little plus on the right side you can leave a comment that will pop up in the minutes bar as it plays or you can just comment by clicking on the blue box at the top. </p> <p>If anyone thinks of anything else they'd like to know about the trap please ask away. I'm not sure I'll have all the answers since it's so new but questions can't hurt. </p>
