Love your video and am hoping to end this nightmare. I am not sure how to make the basket. I’ve tried other traps with gluing and I’m not good with glue, so it doesn’t seem to work so well for me; I want to try yours using plastic and basket. How do you make the basket? How thick for the plastic? Thanks.

There are many ways to make bedbug traps. The one in this video [CO2 Bedbug Trap – Making CO2 ] uses a plastic basket and if you are not good with glue, the basket might also be a challenge. So I suggest you skip the basket entirely and use something much simpler like a small glass instead . The basket or the small glass are pitfalls that bedbugs fall into without being to get out. The outside of the glass is covered with a paper towel to allow bedbugs to climb up to the rim and fall intothe glass attracted by the CO2 inside the glass.
CO2 is produced by the mixture of yeast and sugar and sent in the glass with a tube that can be found in any hardware store or in pet shops for feeding plants in aquariums. We can also make our own tubes using flexible drinking straws assembled together. Examples of working traps are shown on:

You can make four traps with a single 2 liters recipe, using four 500 ml containers or bottles that are placed behind each leg of the bed. It keeps them out of the way, and are kept from being knocked down and spill their content on the floor. 500 ml traps also fit better under a low bed. The CO2 mixture lasts 2-3 weeks

Traps are used to catch bedbugs that are anywhere in the room. Bedbugs come out of hiding when hungry and go towards the bed to try to feed (bite). They most usually climb up the legs of the bed to get to you at night and are lured by the CO2 which is near each leg of the bed. Bedbugs climb up the sides of the paper towel covered glass, fall in the CO2 inside the glass and suffocate within a few hours from lack of oxygen, because bedbugs have to breathe too and there is absolutely no air in the glasses, only nearly pure CO2 and they can’t breathe that. Bedbugs in a room can last weeks without a bite, sometimes months if they become dormant Those bedbugs are hiding only and do not become a threat until they get hungry and then come out to feed. That’s when the traps catch them.
With traps, you have all you need to clear a whole room out of bedbugs and right down to the last one. The whole room but not the bed, because bedbugs already in the bed will not go down to the floor where the traps are and then go right back up to bite you. Bedbugs already in the bed stay in the bed and are indifferent to CO2 traps on the floor.
Bedbugs already in the bed must be stopped with a bedbug shield. A bedbug shield is a barrier placed over the bed that keeps bedbugs from being able to reach you and bite you. As soon as you put a bedbug shield on your bed, all bedbug bites stop at once! A bedbug shield is the end of the bedbug nightmare. You will be amazed to sleep on a bedbug shield, sleeping peacefully without worries and waking up in the morning without a single bite. Meanwhile, bedbugs stuck under the shield cannot get outexcept by going towards the traps on the floor. Bedbugs that cannot feed are dead bedbugs! Bedbugs absolutely need your blood to molt and become adults that also absolutely need your blood to incubate and lay eggs. Bedbugs stuck under a shield do not have any blood to feed on, bedbugs stuck under a shield cannot molt and cannot lay eggs. But most importantly, bedbugs stuck under a shield cannot survive and simply die of starvation. Imagine, killing bedbugs with starvation while it is so great to rest peacefully without being bothered , no bites and no traces of bedbugs
A bedbug shield is made with a long strip of plastic about 2 feet wide by 24 feet long, fixed to the sides of the mattress and hanging down one inch above the floor, like a plastic skirt all around the bed. Use a regular fabric contour sheet to cover the mattress and this plastic “skirt”. Seal the edge of the contour sheet to the top of the plastic skirt with duct tape, like a belt all around the mattress. That’s all it takes to make a bedbug shield. Total protection against bedbugs, it makes them die of starvation.
Here is the bedbug shield, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wy-ry66A7U and different ways to make it for different beds http://julesnoise.com/2013/06/20/50/
You have the traps on the floor to clear the room out of bedbugs and you have the shield on the bed to stop and starve all other bedbugs, you will be bedbug-proof!
Give yourself a chance and do this, it will be the end of your nightmare

It happened to me four years ago, I got bedbugs coming from nowhere (I still don’t know to this day where they came from) and there was nothing nowhere that could help me get rid of them. Just like you I had a pesticide treatment that failed. I started looking for another solution and found none, nobody cares and everybody said we cannot do it by ourself.
I proved them wrong! I found many ways to fight bedbugs and I won. I used a large plastic sheet draped over my bed to protect me from bites and traps to catch them. My first traps were crude and difficult to make, I didn’t know how to use them properly, but they worked and I got of bedbugs catching them one by one. I caught about 200 bedbugs and there were less and lessbedbugs evey day until there were none left. What I didn’ know at the time is that when bedbugs cannot bite, they cannot molt and grow, no more than they can lay eggs. Their numbers kept going down as they were getting stuck in the traps every night while I was sleeping without getting a single bite. I started making traps for my neighbors and then got on the Internet with what we did and the only true way to get rid of bedbugs.
Four years later, I have a small army of people making shields and traps, getting bedbug free all by themselves. You will be one of them. Bedbug barriers and CO2 bedbug traps will do it for you. It is very simple, it is only a matter of knowing what makes bedbugs so dreadful and what we can use to defeat them.
Since bedbugs are climbing insects, the only true way to stop them is to keep them from being able to climb and reach you. When you put a cover on your bed you stopped most bedbugs by trapping them inside the cover. Those bedbugs could not reach you anymore and you got a relief from bedbug bites.But it is not the bed cover that keeps bedbugs from being able to get in the bed but it is the plastic yogurt containers you put on the legs of the bed.
The bed cover encloses bedbugs that already are in the bed. I assume your cover protects both the mattress and box spring. Any bedbug already in the mattress and the box spring are entombed and will never get out again to feed. With a single stroke, you neutralized most of the bedbugs you have and those bedbugs will die of starvation. But the protection from a bed cover is incomplete as there are bedbugs which are not in the mattress and box spring, being free to get across the cover by using the bed sheets, those free bedbugs will eventually get to you and feed to become laying egg adults that will grow into bedbug colonies outside the bed cover. We can use that bed cover to make a shield that will deter and stop all and any bedbug.
A bedbug shield is a simple long strip of plastic (about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long) fixed to the sides of the bed cover like a skirt all around the bed and hanging down vertically about one inch above the floor. Bedbugs obviously cannot go through the bed cover and with the plastic hanging skirt all around the bed, bedbugs cannot go sideways through it either, protecting you from bedbugs that might use the bed sheets to get to you while you sleep. You bed cover with its hanging plastic skirt will stop and keep bedbugs from being able to reach you. Any bedbug, no matter if those bedbugs already are in the bed or from anywhere in the room as they try to get into the bed by any which means they can. Our job is to close and block all and any paths the bedbug could take and finally reach you to feed on your blood. An example on how to make a bedbug shield is at: The Bedbug Shield
The bedbug shield, your version of the bedbug shield is enough to stop all bedbugs and neutralize all of them before they can get a bite. Within a few weeks those bedbugs will also die of starvation as the bedbugs you have entombed in your bed cover. The bedbug shield can eliminate a whole bedbug infestation all by itself. The shield works this way: bedbugs are attracted to you, they absolutely need your blood to molt and grow, as well as they absolutely need your blood to lay eggs and multiply. By denying them your warm blood to feed on, you stop bedbugs from being able to feed and break their life cycle. A bedbug that cannot feed is a dead bedbug, sooner or later. Meanwhile you can sleep safely and soundly without a single bite.
But there is more we can do to eliminate bedbugs completely and definitively. It is annoying to see bedbugs roam around freely and trying to find a way to get to you and if there is any forgotten pathway, be assured they will find it. So we must block any way they use and make sure that they cannot get to you, no matter what. That’s exactly what the shield does, it stops all and every single bedbug bite at once and bedbugs die of starvation.
To keep bedbugs from being able to roam around and keep them off the walls and any other item or furniture, we use bedbug barriers. Bedbug barriers are smooth and slippery vertical surfaces that bedbugs cannot climb on. Makes sense to stop a climbing insect doesn’t it?
Glass is the perfect surface to stop any bedbug, it is what we use to make the small glass pitfalls that receives the CO2 from the 2L container (s). Scotch tape is also a smooth vertical surface that bedbugs cannot get a grip on. When we use it as a band around a leg (bed, furniture, chairs, desks…) or any other item we want to protect from bedbugs (drawers, suitcases, trays, closets, picture frames, light switches…), anything at all. The most efficient and least expensive bedbug barriers are made with simple 1/2″ scotch tape brushed with talcum powder. Scotch tape only by itself makes the best bedbug barriers, but when you brush talcum powder on that scotch tape, it becomes even more slippery and no bedbug can get across it.
Everything can be protected from bedbugs by taping a vertical band of scotch tape to it. It stops bedbugs that cannot go any further. An example of such bedbug barriers is at: Bedbug Barriers – Stop All Bedbugs and Eliminate Them!. You will see such scotch tape bedbug barriers stop all bedbugs and make them fall to the ground. Shortly, all bedbugs will go down towards the bed attracted to you while you sleep, but bedbugs will not be able to go back up again, stopped as they will be by those bedbug barriers. Very quickly, all bedbugs that are actually antwhere in the room will end up on the floor and there will be no ore bedbugs left on the walls, on or in the furniture or any other items they normally use to get to you.
But bedbugs are still somewhere on the floor. Yes, they must have a place where to go and the floor is the perfect and most dangerous place for bedbugs. First, they cannot climb up anywhere again and the floor is the only place where they can go. On the floor there is something else too, on the floor there are CO2 bedbug traps. Bedbugs stuck on the floor have very few places to hide and they also detect trails of CO2 on the floor coming from the traps. CO2 is one of the two most powerful lures for bedbugs.
Bedbugs detect CO2 to find their victims and when they detect CO2 coming from the traps, they follow it as blindly as they follow CO2 from our breathing. Bedbugs stuck on the floor always go for those trails of CO2 and end up into small glass pitfalls that they cannot get out of. More than that, the CO2 inside the pitfalls takes away the oxygen bedbugs need to live and the CO2 kills bedbugs by suffocation within 10-12 hours.
With a bedbug shield on the bed, bedbug barriers to keep bedbugs from roaming around and CO2 bedbug traps to catch bedbugs when hunger drives them into traps, you will eliminate all bedbugs and right down to the last one without having to do nothing other that your set-up.
Attract them all in one place where they can’t get out, turn the entire room and even the whole apartment into a bedbug trap. That will be the end of bedbugs and the end for good as the the shield, barriers and traps will prevent any possible future infestation, catching the very first bedbug before it can bite and feed. Catch the very first bedbug, the mother of all bedbugs and tell the poison-pusher that he can keep his failing pesticide method that only spreads bedbugs by leaving live bedbugs behind.
The CO2 bedbug trap has been designed for people like you being told that you are on your own without any help or support. The trap belongs to the people and they will stop taking advantage of us. You are all by yourself? Well join us, we are a large group of people using traps and getting rid of bedbugs without any help, we do not need them, we are doing better than any of them all by ourselves! There are no membership, fees or commitments by using a bedbug trap. The only thing that brings us together is the fact that we can and do eliminate bedbugs by ourselves.
Get more information about bedbugs and how to defeat them at http://julesnoise.com/. Turn your bed cover into a bedbug shield, turn your room into a bedbug trap using bedbug barriers and catch them all by using CO2 bedbug traps. Among us we repeat the old wisdom of times past: “Good night, sleep tight and don’t let the bedbug bite.” A bedbug that cannot feed is a dead bedbug.
