An intercepting device (e.g. a furniture coaster device) is placed under furniture (bed, sofa, chair, etc.), other climable object, or the floor adjacent an object to intercept crawling arthhropods and other crawling pests. The intercepting device can be used to monitor the presence of crawling arthropods and other crawling pests (such as bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, beetles, spiders, etc.), reduce pest numbers, and monitor efficacy of pest control procedures. The intercepting device includes pitfall trap surfaces that form multiple pitfall traps. |
