Diy Carbon Dioxide Bed Bug Trap. Add a little yeast. The last step is to grind.
This is a classic active bed bug trap that uses feromones and glue to attract and trap bed bugs. The way these traps work is they mimic human or animal breath by emitting carbon dioxide gas. Hungry mosquitoes follow the trail into the bottle and down through the funnel.
Bedbugs use carbon dioxide to locate humans which is why carbon dioxide can be used to lure them into a trap.
Fold the top into the bottle and then. The bed bug trap will release carbon dioxide about the same amount 15 adult humans would breathe for around eight hours. These traps may require electricity and must be used for an extended period to attract and eliminate all the. The idea is that the bed bugs are attracted to the carbon dioxide released by the sugar-yeast solution.
