Electronic insect barrier

A insect resistant bed comprising:

• a bed having a plurality of bed legs;
• and
• a plurality of electronic insect barriers positioned along each of the plurality of bed legs, each electronic insect barrier comprising,
• a base defined by an edge,
• a perimeter barrier extending upwardly from the base, the perimeter barrier located inward of the edge,
• a removable cover that defines a trap cavity and defines an inside opening, wherein
• the removable cover extends upwardly from the base starting inward of and along the perimeter barrier, wherein
• the removable cover extends outwardly toward the edge, and wherein
• the removable cover extends downwardly toward the base terminating at a hanging edge outward of and along the perimeter barrier;
• a plurality of electrodes located at least along the base inward of the perimeter barrier and within the trap cavity, and
• an inner barrier extending upwardly from the base, the inner barrier located inward of the removable cover, the inner barrier defining a space for receiving one of the plurality of bed legs.

A method for preventing crawling insects from entering a bed comprising:

• providing a bed having a plurality of bed legs;
• and
• providing a plurality of electronic insect barriers each positioned along a bottom of each of the plurality of bed legs, wherein each of the plurality of electronic insect barriers comprise,
• a base defined by an edge,
• a perimeter barrier extending upwardly from the base, the perimeter barrier located inward of the edge,
• a removable cover that defines a trap cavity and defines an inside opening, wherein
• the removable cover extends upwardly from the base starting inward of and along the perimeter barrier, wherein
• the removable cover extends outwardly toward the edge, and wherein
• the removable cover extends downwardly toward the base terminating at a hanging edge outward of and along the perimeter barrier;
• a plurality of electrodes located at least along the base inward of the perimeter barrier and within the trap cavity, and
• an inner barrier extending upwardly from the base, the inner barrier located inward of the removable cover, the inner barrier defining a space for receiving one of the plurality of bed legs.
