We have had bed bug attacks in the past and they are difficult to eradicate but this simple trap takes care of them better than chemicals!

But you cannot eradicate them if the infestation is massive.
If you have bed bugs but not notice them, what's the problem?
But if you have some bites and want to know for sure if it's bugs, then the method works well.
