I just stumbled across an advertisement for a product called Bed Defense that claims to trap and kill bed bugs naturally. As with many BB products, it sounds way too good to be true!
.beddefense.com
The only products I've ever employed in my home are those recommended or invented by the professionals on this forum (i.e. passives, PackTite, etc.) I tried to do a bit more research on this item, but no luck other than what the company has posted on its site. I am quite skeptical of this company's claims of an all natural way to kill bed bugs. Anyone have any thoughts or has anyone used this product?

Can't find any info about tests they did with actual bed bugs on the site, which always makes my radar ping.
Disclaimer: I make Packtite, Packtite Closet, Bed Bug Beacon, and Bed Bug Blue (coming soon). My disclaimer is getting cumbersome, but it is important.

HERE'S A NATURAL WAY TO KILL BED BUGS FOR ALL !
If you're really looking for and must have a natural way to kill bed bugs follow these easy to implement steps:
1) Hunt for and find a bed bug.
2) Once you've located a bed bug, capture it by carefully grasping it between your thumb and index finger.
3) Apply increasing pressure while simultaneously and forcefully rasping your index finger in a downward fashion toward your palm.
4) Continue step #3 until you either hear a slight popping sound or red oozing liquid emerging from the bed bug becomes visible.
5) Carefully clean all remnats of bed bug bodily fluids using a disposable disinfectant wipe.
6) Repeat as needed.
All kidding aside; when products are marketed in this fashion and the scientific "Proof" provided turns out to be "anecdotal testimonials" from otherwise unknown persons we need to view such proof and products for what they actually are.
While it was mentioned above, it warrants repeating:
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS ! ! !

I guess I'm "on a roll". Maybe my new book will be titled "Fun With Bed Bugs" ?

Site lists a patent pending number (85453916). Here's the info from the US Patent Office.
http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=85453916The number appears to be for a trademark, rather than the actual device and there's implication of a trap.
The company behind the patent, bugdefend.com has a write-up on their web site. I can't understand it, because it's in Latin.

Paul,
Have you had your natural method tested by an independent entity? Perhaps david cain or killer queen could run several reps trying out your finger squeezing method. Also do you see this as a off the shelf product or a service model? :).

Eff that, I want a bed bug seeking missile, or laser, something with an ignition switch, that releases the laser missile to search and destroy all bed bug DNA within a certain radius, and I want it to do it all in 5 seconds!
Oh, and I think it should also clean my house, cook dinner and do the laundry too.

Website #FAIL
I love it when people are so focused on "being on the Internet" that they forget to actually change their website template so it contains actual content.
Also known as "missing the point."

Hmm Brook S. 35 of NY loved it so much they wrote two glowing reviews.
I think we may have to try and order a few of these for testing.

FYI;
I had to provide detailed instructions so no one would be injured using this technique.
And, even though the instructions seemed sufficiently detailed, we did have one of our field research cooperators, can't mention who it is but his initials are KQ , narrowly escape injury while engaged in the process when applying his own, and soon to be processed patented, "ninja death grip" to a fully engorged fourth instar.
During the moment of truth, as it were, this particularly tough fourth instar (it was from the Bronx apparently and they grow 'em tuff up there) , the abdomen burst with such force that it resulted in hurling a friction induced steaming hot moltin mixture of partially digested human blood, hemocil, fecal matter and shards of bed bug integument directly toward KQ's right eye. Had his cat like BB killer instincts not instantly come into play, his cornea would have received the full impact of this massive and forceful explosion. (Much like that fateful day in Deally Plaza, alas.)
However, this was not the case and thanks to his God given bed bug killing talent this near catastrophe was happily averted !
As a result, we've re-tooled the technique to include physical skills training to enhance/develop applicator feline like reflexes and added the required use of explosion proof eye protection to the recently filed patent application.
Anyone who wishes to "get in on the ground floor" of this soon to be bed bug market machine better get going right now. We already have signed Brook, 35 from NY as our spokesperson.
Have a nice day ! paul b.

Now Paul, I know this to be false, he always sends in the clown for the dirty work and he does not need the Ninja death grip technique, he just looks at them and they go running.
I do however have a pair of his trademark over sized shoes on order to act as personal isolation devices, I can work safe in the knowledge that I am not only a trend setter and up with the kids fashion but that I no longer need to worry about the remote risk of a bedbug getting on me while I work.
David
PS I will ask Terry to order me some of these to do a tank trial with, the only way I can see it being effective though is if you print bedbug avoidance instructions on one side and only then if it worked the same way as the purple power plate (http://www.purpleplates.com/about.html)

Hey DC,
What we need to get are those little "no bed bug signs". You know the ones I mean with the cirle & the line through over a photo of a bed bug.
We'll just encircle the customer's bed and couch with them and bam, no more bed bugs.
Of course we will need to patent the signs, the posts, the font, the color, the shape, the most efficacious circling placement/installation pattern, how to handle the signs, how to place the signs, and all the other details.
Used in combination with the other "Ninja Death Grip" natural method, we will have the most natural method available to the public as long as we print the signs on recycled paper, use recycled materials to construct the posts and bases and prin the signs with soy ink. All patentable of course.
And, to top it off, we'll of course have recycle instructions for the signs once the bed bugs are 100% eliminated from the site.
Did I miss anything?
Have a safe trip !

Paul,
Please, come on man get with the program as any real pro knows its not the shape, colour, texture or materials matters its the type of tape you use on the edges that makes all the difference with bedbug devices.

I was going to wait till I got back to London and checked on its development but since you can't wait I will have to confirm it will in fact be the next product on http://www.bedbugbuttplug.com .
We are nothing if not responsive to consumer needs.

Digging around the site for this device, it seems that it's "powered" by the following:
Lactic Acid (20%)
Acetone (1%)
Glycerin (5%)
Rosemary Essential Oils (1%)
Hops Flower Oil (1%)
Silicon Dioxide (1%)It also cites a study in the December 2011 or June 2011 issue of a journal entitled "Clinical Insect Investigations" (which I have not found on the web).
