Following analysis of the distribution of the bed bug infestation, the extent of the infestation in the block or hotel can then be managed with best practice bed bug control techniques. If no bed bugs are caught in the trap following the recommended placement duration, this does not guarantee that the room is free from bed bugs.
Additionally, to the untrained eye and without knowledge of insect morphology, bed bug nymphs can sometimes be misinterpreted as other insects, such as booklice. If there is doubt in confirming the presence of trapped insects, it is recommended to consult a qualified entomologist.
