The invention comprises a plurality of components, each of which impedes or prevents intrusion by bed bugs onto a bed or kill them upon contact. A fitted sheet, impenetrable to bed bugs is removeably attached to a slippery skirt, which is too smooth for a bed bug to climb. Together, these inhibit bed bugs from climbing to the top of the bed from the floor or through the mattress. Zippers to attach the fitted sheet and slippery skirt are designed to prevent small gaps. Headboard and footboard attachments of a slippery skirt design further prevent incursion and form passive traps for encroaching bed bugs. A pesticide infused second skirt attached to the slippery skirt around the bed springs actively kills bed bugs which contact it, reducing the number of bed bugs living in an infested mattress. All parts except the slippery skirts and pesticidal skirt may be washed or heated in a conventional dryer, killing invasive bed bugs, thereby permitting extended use, reuse and higher effectiveness of the invention.

A tracking powder poison station includes a housing, rodent entrances, a removable or opening, lockable housing front, contamination guards above the rodent entrances into the housing, and a removable tray. A bottom portion of the housing provides space for common bricks arranged end to end. A center portion of the housing provides space for the removable tray. A top portion provides space for rodent attracting material. Tracking powder is deposited in the tray for contact with rodents. Insecticide is deposited in insecticide troughs at ends of the tray aligned with the insect slots.

Insect screen assemblies for deployment on the head of a wearer and attachment to sunglasses having sunglasses frame arms may include an assembly screen having a plurality of screen openings. A pair of spaced-apart screen attachment devices may include a pair of screen magnets carried by the assembly screen. A pair of sunglasses frame mounts may be configured for attachment to the sunglasses frame arms, respectively, of the sunglasses. A pair of frame mount magnets may be carried by the pair of sunglasses frame mounts, respectively. The pair of screen magnets may magnetically engage the pair of frame mount magnets, respectively, to detachably secure the assembly screen on the sunglasses. At least one panel securing strap may be carried by the assembly screen. The at least one panel securing strap may be extendable around a neck of the wearer. Sunglasses with an insect screen assembly are also disclosed.

An insect resistant platform with a base assembly having a plurality of vertical posts on an upper surface that support the bottom side of a cover assembly. A sticky pad is on the upper surface of the base assembly with apertures that surround each of the posts. There is a gap between the base assembly and the cover assembly except at the posts. Any crawling insect will become captured by the sticky pad before being able to climb the posts heading toward the cover assembly. The top of the cover assembly is adapted to support an item such as a pet food bowl.

A modular insect barrier device is disclosed within which forms a protective barrier over an insect-attracting adhesive in order to prevent by-catch. Various embodiments of the invention may be configured for preferred purposes, including but not limited to ease and economy of manufacture; a more complete barrier against insect encroachment; optional incorporation of a flexible wrap which yet further protects the tree while supporting the linked chain of the modular insect barrier device; and, to allow for user-customizable design by the exchange of one configuration of links for another or incorporation of adornments to the structure herein.
