The invention relates to a bed bug detection device (10) comprising a refuge (16) which elicits a taxis response from bed bugs and a non-trapping indicator surface (18), on which the bed bugs may leave indicators of their presence, such as faecal matter or cast skins. The refuge is positioned in close proximity to said non-trapping indicator surface such that the bed bugs can leave an indicator of their presence as they travel across the indicator surface on their way to or from the refuge. Preferably the non-trapping indicator surface takes the form of a skirt which surrounds a refuge made of corrugated paper. The invention also provides a passive method of detecting the presence of bed bugs without their capture by detecting the presence of indicators rather than the bed bugs per se.
L'invention porte sur un dispositif de détection des punaises de lit (10) comprenant: un refuge (16), qui provoque une réponse taxique des punaises, et une surface indicatrice sans piège (18) sur laquelle les punaises peuvent laisser des traces de leur présence telles des matières fécales et de la peau morte. Le refuge est placé à proximité immédiate de la surface indicatrice pour que les punaises y laissent des traces de leur passage lorsqu'elles rentrent ou sortent du refuge. La surface indicatrice a de préférence la forme d'une jupe entourant le refuge en carton ondulé. L'invention porte également sur une méthode passive de détection sans capture de la présence des punaises, consistant à détecter leurs traces sans les détecter elles-mêmes.
