Bedbugs - an environmentally safe way to catch them.

Eeeewwww! Bedbugs! Don't have them. Don't want them... ever.

But just in case, I'm going to keep this in mind. Apparently, there is a natural way to catch them... plant Velcro, if you will.

Quote :

Generations of Eastern European housewives doing battle against bedbugs spread bean leaves around the floor of an infested room at night. In the morning, the leaves would be covered with bedbugs that had somehow been trapped there. The leaves, and the pests, were collected and burned — by the pound, in extreme infestations.

I don't know what KIND of bean leaves it is, but I would find out if I got bedbugs... that's for damn sure.

We got rid of bedbugs in the middle of the 20th Century by using DDT. Nope, can't use it around here anymore. I found out that it is Kidney Bean leaves.
