These bed bug monitoring traps could give you the clear answer you've been searching for if you've become suspicious that pests are lurking in your bedroom.

Treating any infestation as quickly as possible is vital for getting it under control, but bed bugs can be very hard to spot as they are experts at hiding, which is why the well-rated monitoring traps from Walmart are so handy.

All prices were correct at the time of publication.

Dealing with itchy bug bites can be a genuinely worrying and often miserable experience. Not only are they uncomfortable, but if bed bugs are the culprit, they're notoriously difficult to remove.

Even the best methods to eradicate bed bug infestations aren't foolproof, or often require more than a little effort and time.

That's why we recommend the Bed Bug Blocker (XL) Interceptor Traps, available in a pack of four at Walmart to keep a close eye.

The beauty of these bed bug monitoring traps is that they offer continuous, 24/7 protection, allowing you to monitor your problem, no matter how minor, around the clock, without the use of chemicals or pesticides.

Furthermore, this non-toxic pest control method is designed to fit most indoor furniture and beds and withstand the weight of heavier beds. They take just minutes to set up.

Simply place them under the legs of your affected furniture and any resident non-flying bed bugs will climb in, and the slippy interior walls will prevent them from climbing back out again.

You'll be able to get a quick visual and confirm which pest you're dealing with, and come up with a suitable extermination plan, or call pest control pros quickly.

Customers deem these extra large interceptors as 'worth it', ideal for 'bed bug diagnostics,' and say they 'really provide peace of mind.'

One happy customer confirms, 'Since I have used it, I have yet to get bitten while in bed.'
