SenSci Pyramid Pitfall Traps
Best discreet solution for homeowners monitoring early-stage pest infestations.
The SenSci Pyramid Pitfall Traps provide an economical and discreet method for managing bed bug and cockroach infestations. Crafted from cardboard, their textured surface naturally attracts these pests. Designed for indoor use, they are perfect for placement in common hiding spots like corners, along baseboards, and under sinks. While effective on their own, their performance can be enhanced with separate bed bug or cockroach lures. Once pests are captured, the trap can be easily sealed and disposed of outdoors, offering a simple solution for pest control.

Know before you buy
The traps use a pitfall design with a textured cardboard surface that pests find easy to climb into but difficult to climb out of. Once they enter, they are contained within the trap until you are ready to dispose of it.
Yes, the traps are considered pet-safe when used as directed. Because they are non-toxic and rely on a physical pitfall mechanism rather than chemical pesticides, there is no risk of toxic exposure to your animals.
While the traps are designed to work on their own by leveraging the natural movement of pests, adding a compatible bed bug or cockroach lure can significantly increase their effectiveness. Lures are particularly helpful if you are trying to detect a low-level infestation.
For the best results, place the traps in areas where pests are known to travel or hide, such as along baseboards, in corners, or under sinks. Focus on dark, undisturbed areas where you suspect activity.
No, these traps are designed for single use. Once pests are captured, the entire cardboard unit should be sealed and disposed of outdoors to ensure the infestation is removed from your living space.
These traps serve as a visual indicator. Simply inspect the interior of the trap periodically to see if any pests have been captured, which provides clear confirmation of an infestation in that specific area.
