Abstract
A bed bug trap (2) is combined with a conventional power bar (1). Bed bugs can enter the trap via a small gap (6) between the power bar portion and the bed bug trap, where they then fall off a small precipice (14) and onto a glue strip (4, 5) or the like. The assembly can be easily opened for inspection and replacement of glue cartridges (5). Attractants (7, 17, 13) can be provided, including heat via a small heating element (7), chemical attractants (17), and carbon dioxide via a carbon dioxide generator (13). The assembly can be adapted for use with other insects, or an additional trap (91, 92; 110) can be attached for other insects.

Abstract
A container is combined with a base having insect combating features, i.e. for trapping and/or poisoning of insects, preferably but not necessarily combined with insect attracting elements. In particular, the container may be a waste basket, and the targeted insects may be bed bugs, and/or roaches, and/or ants. The assembly has a container portion and a base portion. The interior of the base portion is accessible by insects via one or more small gaps or openings, and contains the trapping and/or poisoning elements, which may include a replaceable glue strip or the like. Preferably, the assembly is also be provided with insect attracting means, which may include chemical attractants, carbon dioxide generation, and/or heat. In some embodiments, separate areas may be provided to combat different insects.

Abstract
A bed bug trap includes heat, carbon dioxide and/or semiochemicals (pheromones and/or kairomones), to attract and trap bed bugs. The trap may be combined with the appearance and/or function of another appliance, such as an air freshener. The release of semiochemicals may be combined with the release of air freshening compositions. The device preferably is powered, but not necessarily. The bed bug trap may provide one attraction mode, or two attraction modes, namely one which uses heat, carbon dioxide and/or kairomones to attact bed bugs seeking a meal, and the other which uses pheromones to attract bed bugs seeking a safe harbor, i.e. a hiding place. The two different modes may operating simultaneously in different areas, or the trap may be switchable between modes, for example via a timer, or in response to some trigger such as a light sensor. Alternatively, one mode may operate continuously, for example the mode in which bed bugs are attracted to a harboring location, while the other mode, for example the mode in which bed bugs are attracted to a feeding location, may be operated only intermittently. The bed bug trap may be combined with a wide variety of appliances, such as air fresheners, alarm clocks, clock radios, humidifiers, desk or table lamps, power bars, etc..

Abstract
A detection and/or control device (1) for bed bugs and other arthropods has at least one surface (9,10) having sufficient texture for a bed bug or other arthropod to climb, leading to a confinement area (6) having surrounding surfaces (7, 8) being sufficiently smooth that the bed bug or other arthropod cannot climb out of the confinement area. The confinement area has a preferably removable and replaceable glue pad or other such trap (16, 26, 66, 85) to trap the bed bug or other arthropod in a specific location within the confinement area. A variety of specific devices are described, including a coaster-type device (1) for placement under bed posts and the like, a frame (21) for light switches and electrical outlets, a cover (80) for heat or air conditioning air outlets, and various extruded rails (50, 52, 60) to act as barriers.
