The active monitors captured approximately twice as many bed bugs as the passive monitors (10% versus 5%, respectively), but given the experimental design this was not a statistically significant difference (F = 0.

However, capture performance could be enhanced if more monitors were used per unit of space, or if monitors were left out for a longer time, or if active monitors were used rather than passive monitors.

This is best done with active monitors that have documented success (for additional details, see Pest Notes: Bed Bugs, available at www.
