A detection and/or control device (1) for bed bugs and other arthropods has at least one surface (9,10) having sufficient texture for a bed bug or other arthropod to climb, leading to a confinement area (6) having surrounding surfaces (7, 8) being sufficiently smooth that the bed bug or other arthropod cannot climb out of the confinement area. The confinement area has a preferably removable and replaceable glue pad or other such trap (16, 26, 66, 85) to trap the bed bug or other arthropod in a specific location within the confinement area. A variety of specific devices are described, including a coaster-type device (1) for placement under bed posts and the like, a frame (21) for light switches and electrical outlets, a cover (80) for heat or air conditioning air outlets, and various extruded rails (50, 52, 60) to act as barriers. |
