10 Things to Know About Bed Bug Monitoring with BugScents™ Sentry Pro

1. BugScents Basics

BugScents Sentry Pro is a bed bug detection trap using a patented pheromone attractant. Its early and rapid detection with a slim, discreet and reusable trap design makes BugScents the ideal solution for PMPs to combat bed bugs.

2. Smells Like Success

The patented slow-release formulation in BugScents monitors mimics bed bugs’ natural aggregation pheromone. It can provide up to three months of active ongoing monitoring.

3. Inspired by Nature

The BugScents trap offers an insect-inspired design, which includes a textured, dark, undulating surface; 60 thigmotactic channels; replaceable glue inserts on the ceiling to catch bugs on their backs; and a frame that sits flush to prevent bed bugs from crawling underneath.

4. Designed for Professionals

BugScents monitors are built with the PMP in mind. Traps are low-profile to fit under even a divan-style bed and can be installed horizontally or vertically. Bed bugs can also enter from any angle, maximizing catch rate.

5. Find Them Fast

With the active attractant provided by the pheromone lure, BugScents monitors can detect the pest quickly. Adults and nymphs can be detected in as little as 24 hours.*

6. A League of Its Own

BugScents monitors attract refuge-seeking bed bugs, so they work in both the presence and absence of a human host. In fact, the trap working in unison with the presence of a host will detect infestations faster.

7. Attraction Applications

The BugScents monitor has been designed for the assessment of bed bug infestations in both residential and commercial settings and for post-treatment monitoring and continuous monitoring of new infestations.

8. Reduce, Reuse

The monitor itself is reusable for up to one year, and replacement lures and glue boards are sold in refill packs. Lures should be replaced every three months, and glue boards should be replaced every 2-3 months or when an infestation is detected.

9. Sticking to Bed Bugs

BugScents monitors do not contain any insecticides and can be used in the presence of pets and children when used as directed.

10. Bring on the Bed Bugs

BugScents monitors are now distributed by Liphatech in all U.S. states except New Mexico. In addition, Liphatech also offers other insect control products supported by expert guidance from its team of experienced pest professionals.
