FiberTrap, a micro-technology company based in Holbrook, NY,  has granted an Authorized Distributorship to New-York-City-based Bug Off Pest Control Center for the sale of FiberTrap bed bug monitors. The FiberTrap monitor uses microfiber technology that mimics the architectures of a multi-direction spider web to ensnare bed bug legs. Bed bugs are drawn to the trap by its design and color, as well as by the use of proprietary lures. Each trap measures 3″ X 2 1/2″ X 3/4″. The product is made entirely from recycled materials and contains no chemicals. The product may be used for pre- and post-bed bug treatment as well as for ongoing preventative monitoring.
