The Digrain Cimex Detector is a professional haemoglobin detection kit designed to quickly identify bed bug activity. This innovative two-part soluble tablet system is dissolved in water and applied using a standard trigger spray. When sprayed onto surfaces, it reacts with haemoglobin found in bed bug excrement, producing a luminous blue glow visible in the dark—without the need for a UV torch.
Exclusive to Lodi UK, this detector offers pest control professionals a fast, non-staining and reliable method of confirming bed bug infestations, even at early stages. Ideal for inspections of beds, mattresses, furniture, skirting boards and cracks where bed bugs may be hiding.
Important: Prior use of heavy detergents or insecticides may reduce effectiveness. Always apply to clean, uncontaminated surfaces for best results.
