Written by Name Surname | Feb 9, 2026 11:58:23 AM

Challenges in bed bug detection

Time constraints have long been a major issue for pest controllers. With no reliable monitoring tool on the market, pest professionals often had to inspect sites themselves,
which is a time-intensive task. Low-level bed bug infestations were particularly challenging, as existing monitors lacked sensitivity and reliability.

The solution

BugScents™ Sentry Pro changed the game by combining a scientifically validated lure with an optimised trap. The unique aggregation pheromone in the lure attracts bed bugs, while the innovative housing design maximises capture efficiency. This allows pest controllers to rely on the product to detect infestations early, freeing up their time and improving service efficiency.

Results and market impact

Since introducing BugScents™ Sentry Pro, Killgerm has seen increased sales and positive customer feedback. Many pest controllers reported that the product outperforms alternatives they previously used. In-house testing conducted by Killgerm confirmed that BugScents™ is the most effective bed bug lure they have encountered.
