Tape 1: Strain of a beige tape (reference []) until breakage. Maximum elongation is 33–37%. requiring 16 to 18 kg of strength to breakage. Tape 2: Strain of a red tape (reference []) until breakage. Maximum elongation is 37–45%. requiring 16 to 17 kg of strength to breakage. Tape 3: Strain of a blue tape (reference []) until breakage. Maximum elongation is 60–63%. requiring 21 to 22 kg of strength to breakage. Tape 4: Strain of a black tape (reference []) until breakage. Maximum elongation is 94–99%. requiring 23 to 24 kg of strength to breakage. The blue point marks the 30% elongation of each tape

Handmade tape fixation techniques for maximizing adhesive strength and minimizing skin trouble. (A) Tape with corners cut in the round shape (round-cut). (B) Tape with slit in the Y-shape (Y-shape slit). (C) Tape stuck on the tube. The blue line shows the tape and the black circle shows the tube. (D) Tape stuck close around the tube (Ω-shape tape).

A) white paper surgical tape dyed black (dyed tape), white paper surgical tape painted black (painted tape), black polyester felt (felt), and white paper surgical tape (white tape), and B) dyed tape, painted tape, felt, and black texture paint on plastic (textured painted plastic). Fifty bed bugs (25 nymphs and 25 adult males) were used in each replication and each group was replicated eight times during four consecutive days of testing. Different letters above the bars indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
