Bud (bedbug) trap and indicator baseboard style

<p>A Parametric barrier and bug trap - works on all kinds of crawling bugs including bedbugs and silverfish</p> <p>CURRENTLY stl are for 2" tape</p> <p>My building has had bug problems on and off and the best way to not become a statistic was to put Down indicators or traps<br/> So i designed a semi permanent one that works both as a barrier and a trap</p> <p>as a barrier - you put a strip of these along the baseboards at a height just above the electrical outlets (but lower than your bed or furniture' contact points)</p> <p>print them out and add super sticky double-sided sticktape to the side with the grooves ( if you are worried about the wall paint put a layer of painters tape the same width down first and stick the double side tape to that . the raw stick should be exposed between the groves and the bugs will try to go into the dark place and crawl up and get stuck there. - the smaller bits are for filling in gaps ( say if you want one along the doorway to find out where they come from . or as general indicators as the bugs will naturally be drawn to crawel into the small gaps to hide)</p> <p>check periodically to make sure the tape has not dried out and or become overloaded with bugs.. if so peel off the tape and put a fresh piece on as required.</p> <p>this is the tape i used<br/> <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/XFasten-Double-Sided-Anti-Scratch-Training-Woodworking/dp/B07CNC3RKB?pd_rd_w=jmr4Q&amp;pf_rd_p=2403bac9-5447-4ed0-bc5a-97cc430a304e&amp;pf_rd_r=7QNE437Y912336275C9D&amp;pd_rd_r=c66e5098-bde2-4f46-aeaf-bde5ea547568&amp;pd_rd_wg=xVPBT&amp;pd_rd_i=B07CNC3RKB&amp;psc=1&amp;ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_29_i">https://www.amazon.ca/XFasten-Double-Sided-Anti-Scratch-Training-Woodworking/dp/B07CNC3RKB?pd_rd_w=jmr4Q&amp;pf_rd_p=2403bac9-5447-4ed0-bc5a-97cc430a304e&amp;pf_rd_r=7QNE437Y912336275C9D&amp;pd_rd_r=c66e5098-bde2-4f46-aeaf-bde5ea547568&amp;pd_rd_wg=xVPBT&amp;pd_rd_i=B07CNC3RKB&amp;psc=1&amp;ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_29_i</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>print as is. for 2 inch tape - smoother the better ( smallest layer heights or with resin as smoothness prevents bugs from getting a foothold and would desire to go into the trap instead of over it)<br/> specifically on the top section</p> <p>i did mine on .12 layer heights withthe smooth side down on glass.</p>
