Product Review

The SenSci ActivVolcano Bed Bug Detection Kit allows homeowners the ability to detect and monitor for bed bugs in their home. The kit includes: 4 SenSci Volcano Bed bug detection devices and 4 SenSci Activ Bed Bug Lures.

The way the SenSci Volcano works is simple. Place the interceptor at the leg of a bed or along a wall against a baseboard. Once the bed bugs move towards the Volcano, they will crawl up the coarse sides of the Volcano and then fall into the device. After they fall into the Volcano, the bed bugs will be trapped inside.

Inspection for bed bugs is easy by looking at the clear bottom of the Volcano. If bugs are not present, place the Volcano back in its previous location for continued bed bug detection. If bed bugs are present, dispose of the bugs in a toilet or outdoor trash receptacle accordingly.

The SenSci Volcano makes it easy to inspect and remove bed bugs with its clear bottom design. You can increase the success rate of a Volcano by adding the SenSci Activ Bed Bug Lure inside. With both SenSci components, you have just created an ActivVolcano, which will increase the chance you capture bed bugs.

What to Expect When Using SenSci ActivVolcano: Due to the nature of low-level infestations (10 or less live bed bugs), it may take time to see results with the SenSci Activ and Volcano. The difference of the capture rate depends on the severity of the infestation and where the bed bugs are located. The capture rate of the SenSci ActivVolcano within low-level infestations may take more time to determine than if it was used in a moderate or high-level infestation. You can expect to see results using the SenSci ActivVolcano within 4 weeks of continuous use.

It is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the SenSci Volcano once per year for optimal performance from normal wear and tear. You can also use the SenSci Activ bed bug lure within other bed bug capture devices.
