3. Check the inspection jar for any bugs

If no bugs are visible, simply clean the cassette before re-inserting it back into the leg.

Inspection of the contents is easier when the inspection jar is placed on a white surface, such as a paper towel or other light-coloured material.

Recognize bed bugs

Bed bugs have distinct characteristics that help with identification:

  • Flat body shape

  • Brown or reddish-brown color

  • Six legs and two antennae

  • Adult bed bugs are typically 5–7 mm long

  • Younger bed bugs (nymphs) can be as small as 1.5 mm

Other findings

Most common findings:

  • Dust: In some cases, excessive dust in the cassette can trigger a prevention notification.

  • Other insects: Non-bed bug insects may also be found inside the cassette.
