How to use it

Set one cup under each leg of the bed, with the leg in the center well.
Pull the bed a few inches away from the wall and the nightstand, so the legs are the only way up.
Tuck the sheets and blanket in: nothing should hang down to the floor.
Keep the inside wall clean and dry: a slick wall is what holds a bug in the cup.
Check and clean the cups every week; tip them into a smooth plastic tub to see what they caught.

How many you need

One cup under each leg: a frame on four legs takes four, one with a center support takes six or more. These are standard cups; a square or wide leg needs an XL cup.

Count the cups for your home.

Twelve standard insect interceptors

Under every leg of three ordinary beds, these twelve standard-size cups give you a full set of four per bed from a single order. The maker calls them insect interceptors rather than bed bug traps, and the standard size is meant for ordinary bed and furniture legs rather than oversized posts.

You set each cup flat on the floor, lower the leg into it, and look into the wells whenever you strip your bed. A catch in one cup and not in the others points you to the corner worth searching. Only two people have rated these so far, so weigh that score lightly when you compare.

ClimbUp Insect Interceptor is part of the Bed Bug Blocker collection, on the interceptor cups shelf.

How to set out the ClimbUp Insect Interceptor follows the EPA and Texas A&M's extension service: one cup under each leg, the bed pulled off the wall, a look every week.

This is general information about keeping bed bugs out of a bed, not pest control or medical advice. A licensed pest professional, your doctor and the maker's own instructions come first.

What the public sources say

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, "What is a bed bug interceptor?". Explains that bed bugs climb slippery vertical walls poorly, puts a cup under each bed post with the bed off the walls and no bedding on the floor, counts at least 12 cups for a two-bedroom apartment, and cleans them at least once a month. Read October 30, 2026.
U.S. EPA, "Do-it-yourself Bed Bug Control". Says to set interceptors under each leg of infested furniture, move it a few inches off the walls with no linens touching the floor, check and clean the interceptors every week, keep inspecting at least every 7 days, and use covers that seal mattresses and box springs so bed bugs inside die.

Will the ClimbUp Insect Interceptor fit your bed legs?

How often should you check the ClimbUp Insect Interceptor?

Every week, as the EPA advises for interceptors. Tip each ClimbUp Insect Interceptor cup into a smooth plastic tub, look at what it held, and set it back under its leg.
