Cimexa ($15) is an engineered silica material with a 10 year life. A very small amount of it will stress and kill the bugs. So, if you are really worried, putting some of this down can kill the first bugs that gets into your home and keep them from reproducing. (edit spelling)

I'm working on a BB detector, it is hard.

Edit 2: Guys, I'm a sensor and instrument engineer. Here is the info on Cimexa from the source, Rockwell labs.

If anyone is seriously ($50k min) interested in investing in a detector, PM me and I can put you in touch with a real person and info. I have a great plan and am moving along on implementation. We are still pre-prototype.

Susan Jones goes into this later in this talk.

Shoe covers are an important part. Night visits are 90% more dangerous than day visits.

If you can completely seal it, you should be able to save it. It must stay perfectly sealed for 6 months at 20C.

I am developing a bed bug detector. The scientists say that BB give off the most pheromone after feeding and mating. They also give off the panic/alarm pheromone when trapped or stuck. Is there anyway to tell the difference between a happy mating pheromone release and a panic release?

Thank you for this, so far your longest answer and most touching.
