After a bed bug treatment, most people want to be sure the problem has gone. Monitoring helps answer that question. We book bed bug monitoring in Bulimba homes, where a local crew places traps and interceptor cups that catch bugs as they move around the bed.
Interceptor cups sit under each bed leg. Bugs trying to climb up from the floor fall into the outer ring and cannot climb out, while bugs coming down from the bed are caught in the inner ring. The crew may also set sticky traps near skirting boards and couches. On the second visit they check each trap and use what they find to decide on next steps.

Monitoring is also useful when you are unsure whether you have bed bugs, or when you live in a unit block where a neighbour has had them. Catching one or two bugs early is far easier than dealing with a large number later. The cups are small and easy to leave in place for months, and checking them takes less than a minute when you change the sheets. In share houses and family homes, the crew can place cups under every bed so you can see which rooms are clear and which still need attention. Take a photo of anything you find in a cup and have it ready when you call, since that helps the crew decide on the next step.
