- 1A cup under every leg
Bed bugs climb poorly on slick walls: what walks up the leg falls into the cup and stays.
- 2The mattress zipped in
A zip-around cover closes all six sides; bugs inside stay inside, and the seams have nowhere to hide them.
- 3The box spring zipped in
The box spring has more hiding places than the mattress: wood, staples, fabric.
- 4Pillows in their own covers
A pillow cover zips on the short end and goes through the wash with the sheets.
- 5A monitor where you cannot put a cup
Under a headboard, by a nightstand, beside the sofa: a monitor shows what moves there.
How many cups
How many interceptor cups does your home need?
A cup goes under every leg of every bed. Sofas and recliners get two each, the count Texas A&M uses.
6 cups
One 8-pack covers it, with two to spare.
See the interceptor cupsSquare or wide legs need XL cups: measure the foot of the leg before you buy.

King and California king
King and California king are not the same size: one is wider, one is longer. Every cover here names which one it fits, and the depth.
24 covers · from $18.99
Deep pocket encasements
A pillow-top or a thick hybrid often measures 15 inches or more. These covers are cut for it, so the zipper closes without straining.
19 covers · from $18.99
Cups for bed legs
Standard cups fit round and slim legs. One goes under every leg of the bed, which stands a few inches off the wall.
11 cup sets · from $11.99
Count the legs
Every leg of the bed gets a cup, center supports included. A queen or king frame often stands on six or seven.
Measure the foot of the leg
Round and slim legs take a standard cup. Measure a square foot or a sofa foot where it meets the floor: most of them need an XL cup.
Read the bed size on the label
Queen and full are easy to confuse by eye, and so are king and California king. The tag sewn on the mattress says which.
Measure the depth, seam to seam
From the bottom seam to the top of the pillow-top. Take the next depth up when you sit between two.
Look at the end of the zipper
A flap, hook or lock over the last inch keeps the gap closed. The product page names which closure each cover has.
Pull the bed off the wall
A few inches from the wall and the nightstand, bedding tucked in, so the legs are the only way up. The EPA and Texas A&M both say so.
Under the legsHow bed bug interceptors work, and how many your home needs
Why a bed bug cannot climb out of the cup, where each cup goes, how many a home takes, and how often to check them.
The mattressChoosing a bed bug mattress encasement: size, depth and the zipper
Encasement or protector, how to measure depth, what to look for at the end of the zipper, and how long the cover stays on.
Coming homeKeeping bed bugs out after a trip, a move or a used mattress
Where bed bugs ride home, what the dryer does, and how cups and covers set up a bed before anything new comes in.
About the shop
About Bed Bug Blocker
Bed Bug Blocker started in 2019 as a shop for the things that keep bed bugs off a bed without a spray: cups under the legs, covers that zip shut, monitors for the corners. 7 years on, that is still all the Bed Bug Blocker collection holds.
Every cover on our shelves names the bed size and depth it fits, and every cup its pack. When you are not sure which fits your bed, write to us and tell us the size and the depth.
Questions
Questions about Bed Bug Blocker
What does Bed Bug Blocker sell?
Interceptor cups for bed and furniture legs, zip-around encasements for the mattress, the box spring and the pillows, and monitors for the spots a cup cannot reach, from many makers. No sprays, powders or foggers.
Where can you buy the products you see on Bed Bug Blocker?
Each buy button opens the product at our retail partner, in the size or pack you picked. The checkout, delivery and returns are theirs.
Do you need both cups and an encasement on your bed?
They do different jobs. The University of Kentucky notes that an encasement does not stop a bed bug from climbing onto the bed. Cups under the legs stop that, and the encasement shuts in anything already inside.
How many interceptor cups will your home need?
One under every leg of every bed, plus two for each sofa and recliner if you want to watch them. Texas A&M counts twelve for a two-bedroom apartment. The cup calculator counts yours.
How do you know which encasement fits your bed?
Read the bed size on the mattress label, then measure the depth from the bottom seam to the top of the pillow-top. The size and depth guide lists the covers that fit.
